I have fallen off the blogging wagon - totally!! But I do think that the Lord had me take a break for a reason and purpose. I don't know that I can fully articulate that now that I know that it was good and my focus shifted off of me and on to Him - a very good thing!!

Last night, Bethany spent some time reading through all of the old Christmas letters we have written over the past years. It was interesting to hear what I deemed was important to make it into the letter. Quite honestly, I was a bit embarrassed at some of the things I wrote about. Did I really send these to people?? Too much of self, accomplishments, etc. but there was a redeeming tone that permeated through the years. Honesty. When it was tough, challenging, exciting......we let others know. And I think that was okay.

Well, with a new year upon us, I pray that the Lord will continue His sanctifying work in my life and that I would keep my eyes and heart riveted on Him.
