As I am looking ahead to next year I always like to look back and think about the year that has just passed. I remember what I felt last year heading into a brand new year that felt so exciting and full of opportunity. I was coming off the hardest year of my life after going through losing my mom and it felt like things had started to settle again and I was feeling excited about all that was to come. Little did I know that things would start to unravel again. I thought I knew the direction my life was headed but then before I knew it everything felt upside down again. I thought I would be moving back home for good and getting married but it became clear that was not what the Lord had for me. So I headed back to Nashville feeling so broken and looking into a future that seemed to be filled with so many unknowns again. Even through the hard though I still experienced so much good last year. My job provided me with so much freedom and that allowed me to do a lot of traveling. My team and my little business continued to grow which was so amazing watching it all unfold. I met some of the most amazing woman thanks to Beachbody coaching and slowly but surly started feeling settled in Nashville again. I also turned 30 and cried my eyes out realizing that life looked so different than I thought it would. My dad also got remarried which was hard to swallow at first but that has also turned into the biggest blessing. I started watching the Lord begin to rebuild those broken parts. And I also learned to let go of the way I thought things should look and be thankful for His protection and leading me through the hard. There were months spent completely sad and almost mad because I felt like so many things were being taken from me. But then I began to allow the Lord to show me that there is so much beauty in being broken. I started seeing His hand in all of it and instead of being angry I watched it change to thankfulness. Thankful that he truly is sovereign and that every bit of it is because He wants the very best for me. Last year was hard for sure but I learned so much and for that I will always be thankful. I have no idea what 2015 will hold for me but I have learned enough to know that even if it looks different from my own plan, God does have a plan. And its a really good one. Happy NYE friends and heres to a great 2015.
