BESTEST ever

One more year behind me. A lot happened last year.  I haven’t even had the pleasure of living in Charlotte for a year yet.   This last year has quite honestly been one of the hardest for me. It was the first year, since I have been married, that my husband and I have not been in full time ministry.  I have felt like a fish out of water.  My hubby and I are in a wonderful, yet straining process of transition and it has proven to take longer than anticipated.  Trying to stay upbeat and be encouraging to my husband, and my girls has been really difficult as of late.  I can’t speak for my  husband, but I have felt useless for a whole year.  It has been a journey of being quiet before the Lord and really soaking up the promises that He has for me and my family.  That’s all I have been able to hold on to.  Since the beginning of 2009, God has dropped little flashes of meaning right in front of me.  They have uplifted me, encouraged me, and have given me new meaning for this season of my life and especially for this year.  I know we have all heard it.  It’s a motto in my Church and in Premier (jewelry business): The Best is Yet to Come!!  I believe that and claim it for this year.  Sure I have to work hard and really stay motivated, and be encouraging as well as encouraged, but this year is going to be the BESTEST ever!!!  I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me and my family this year.  We aren’t promised tomorrow, but I hope that I have many more years ahead.
