The Best Gift of 2017


A year ago, I posted a photo saying that I didn’t know how 2017 was going to top 2016 because 2016 was so great, but now that a year has passed, I take that statement back because 2017 was pretty great! It may have been great in a different way.

I would have to say it was a more difficult year with many more challenges than 2016 contained, but I think that is what made it so great! This year, I have learned so much about myself. I've learned more about what I deserve, what I want, what I am capable of, what I can handle, etc. I have also found this peace and contentment with myself that is stronger than it has ever been, and this is because I opened my heart to God and placed my worth and trust in Him. I will tell you this year turned out a lot different than what I imagined, but sometimes reality turns out to be a lot better than what you hope it to be. God has a plan for what he is doing in our lives and it is always bigger than us and what we can dream up.

So as we close this year and celebrate Christmas and the New Year, I just pray that we all can find that peace that only Jesus can bring into our lives, because Jesus was born to live and die so that there would be hope and peace on Earth.
