Dear Self:
This is your most life changing year yet. You started it off by searching for a real job in not only a horrible economic time, but for teaching jobs no less. You did not take the easy way out and move home. You refused to give up until you were almost out of money and out of answers. You made countless phone calls, filled out probably hundreds of applications, went on a few interviews, and felt rejection over and over again. You learned so much about yourself and your faith during that 6 month of job searching and I couldn’t be prouder of how much you relied on God through it all. You were blessed with the best job of all time that had been prepared for you 50 years in advance and it couldn’t be clearer that God had a plan for you all this time. You strengthened new friendships that are important to you and you let the old destructive ones die. Even though you get lonely at times, I know you won’t settle for less than you deserve. You are confident in who you are, you are independent, you are doing the best you can. You aren’t perfect, so don’t take it too personally when you mess up. I cannot wait to see how 2012 will shape you. My resolution this year is to make God my priority…we say that He is but how many times do I put my devotions off until after my favorite show or after this or after that…it’s time to put Him first, for real.
Thanks for an awesome year. With the bad, came a lot more good to be thankful for.
