2011 - What? Already?

It seems that the older I get, the faster time goes by. Now, don't get me wrong - there are those days that seem to just creep by, but I honestly don't know where 2010 went. While it wasn't all bad, I'm ok to see it go. After all, 2011 means a wedding!!!! Woot!

Things I've learned or been reminded of this year:

• I'm where I'm supposed to be. That doesn't mean that I always like it. It doesn't mean that everything is easy and runs smooth (quite the opposite, actually). However, there's something to be said for standing where God needs you to be regardless.
• Just because I don't like something doesn't mean that God isn't smack-dab in the middle of it. A lot of things happened this year that sucked a LOT, but I know that God was STILL in control and had a purpose in all of those situations.
• God's grace IS sufficient.
• Encouragement does alot for the encourage-er and the encourage-ee. "...Encourage one another daily..." Hebrews 3:13

Things I'm looking forward to in 2011:

• the wedding!
• adding new students to my roster at the studio
• spending time with family and friends
• reading---I have a NOOK Color and I'm loving it!

Happy New Year! Here's to hoping for the impossible, seeing miracles manifest before our eyes, and  watching dreams become reality.
