As we wrap up 2011 there is a hint of reminiscence in the air.
We made a lot of memories this year but we struggled through an equal amount of heart ache.
We shared good times and fought through the bad ones together.
This year made me stronger but it also made me cautious.
I made it through many hard endeavors and I am blessed beyond blessed this year.
Sometimes I am not always happy where I am in life or things God does but I am always grateful. I know this is where He has me and for that i am happy. I have learned so much this year. How to love, trust and be happy but also how to forget and look at the present.
I am so thankful to those of you who have played a big part of my life this year.
Those of you who lent me a shoulder to cry on all the hard times this year.
Thank you to those who helped me laugh and helped me to see the good things in life.
Thanks to those who listened to me all the times I needed to vent.
Thank you to all of you who have loved me even when I am hard to love.
Lastly thank you to those who reminded me to look to God this year and reminded me of His love.
I want to end this year well and start this next year with no regrets.
I can feel in my heart that this year is going to be a good one.
Happy new years everyone.
Love you all.

Love where art thou?
I find myself pray the same prayer almost everyday. "Lord gives me love for those I find difficult to love."
Love does not come easy for me. Nor does trusting.
Where once I was a closed book, full of secrets and Buried hurt.
The Lord has really helped me grow these past years. He has shown me how to love others as well as how to accept others to love me.
Yet there are those moments where God shows me that love is still not always effortless.
These past few weeks has been extremely hard to love the people closest to me.
I can not help but to feel a test of my morality and my character.
I will confess I do not always show grace and kindness to those who irritate me. What really hurts the most is when I show love to others and in return I am treated wrong. I then consider the commandment "thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself."
So my prayer for tonight is
"Lord show me how to love those I do not want to love. Help me to know when to step back but also when to push forward. Help me to walk in your grace and not in my own ambitions."
He is the ultimate lover and the one who teaches us to love unconditionally.
