I can't say that I'm sad to see 2013 come to an end. It has not been a good year for me. Yes, there were some good times, really good times! There were also a lot of bad times, sad times, and scary times.
I'm grateful for all that this year brought, and I'm sure it all has a purpose that I may not even know yet.
The last sunset of this year.
Which brings me to the hope that 2014 is a much better year. Where would we be without hope? Hard days would be even harder if we didn't have hope and faith that the future would be better.
Almost exactly 15 years ago, I stood in the middle of my street watching the fireworks downtown when I said a prayer. I told God that I didn't want to spend the next New Year's alone, but I didn't want just anybody. I told Him I thought I was ready to meant my one. He apparently agreed with me because I received my first email from Joseph 9 days later. That random email has lead to the greatest blessings in my life - a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful children, great in-laws, a happy home.
This may be why I have such a fondness for this night. It's so full of expectation and anticipation. I know those dreams can come true.
My hopes are high for 2014, and I have faith that those hopes can happen. I just have to give it to God and let Him take care of the details just like He did so many years ago.
