Another year has flown by and it has been an adventure. The most significant changes have been physical, with my weight loss and energy level. Last August, I was 30 lbs heavier and had little energy. This August I've enjoyed wearing some new clothes and doing some water park visits with the kids.
That in itself is the mark of a great year for me, but there was more. I enrolled in an online Bible Study Group with my church and with their prayers and our leader's encouragement, I overcame some issues that kept me grounded for 15 years. I began to travel again, making flights to D.C., California and Florida. I had so missed the joy of seeing new places and meeting new people.
This was not a perfect year. There have been quite a few struggles, but I'd rather look back at the things that have changed me for the better. So from that view, it's been a glorious year and I feel like Jesus has helped me conquer several things that were holding me back from experiencing true joy.
Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
We are 'more than conquerors', so it's not over. I still have another year of travel on my plate and I'm positive that He has even more good changes in store for me.
