"Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years at the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds."" Psalm 77:10-12

The year 2005 has been an interesting year. The shutting of certain doors in my life. The leaving of the foreign world that became home and family. The opening of different doors that I had not anticipated. The resettling in the States and then resettling again in SC. The many flights home and catching up on hugs that I have missed out on in the last 2 years. The many new friends and faces. The longing to see old friends and faces. The weddings. The changes. The studying. The much awaited Page Thanksgiving. And now the New Year is already here.

The last year has been discouraging, difficult, and also surpisingly delightful. Last night I was challenged to look back on my life and see what God has done...what is His track record with me? Though I am in a place now where tomorrow is a huge question mark and all is uncertain, I know in my head that He is going to lead where He wants me to be. He is forever good. Even when I don't believe it. He is forever kind. Even when I don't see it. He is forever loving. Even when I don't feel it. My feelings do not change the overwhelming and unchanging love of God for me...for all of us. I don't know what lies ahead in this next year. I know it has been almost a year since I started this blog...and I hope that the next year is full of more faith, more joy, and far more love.

As I challenge myself to consider what God has done...I hope you will also be challenged to consider it and be encouraged...He is good. Always.

Happy New Year. :)
