Well a new year has already come and slapped me in the face, the speed that it has approached me was remarkable but somehow I survived 2009 and am now faced with 2010.
So many things have changed, things that I didn't even expect to happen or change, such as...my mentality of how long I would be home for, the possibilities of positive change by staying in hometown, and even my plans for 2010 and what I hoped to do.
2009 in Recap.....
Things that have happened this past year have not been at all what I expected.
Originally I never wanted to go down to Brazil to do my Discipleship Training School with GX in Brazil, I never wanted to return to Brazil and I definitely wanted to go do my DTS with people I didn't know. Well lucky me did all three, and I'm so glad I listened to God's voice instead of my desires. I learnt so much for my five months in Brazil and my relationship with God became so much stronger. Sometimes I do wonder what my DTS would've been like if I had gone on one where I didn't know many people, but God did what He needed to do in me.
Arriving home after my countdown was a sigh of relief. The outreach was so long and tiring that the sound of my own bed, Mom's cooking and everyone around me speaking english was so exciting for me. Once I got home wedding plans was almost all that I heard during July and August because my sister Katie-Lee was getting married to the man of her dreams. It was a great time to hang out with my sister and my mom more.
Thankfully we got to take a break from ribbon cutting and go on a camping trip to Banff, which I love! I love the campfires, the hiking, and getting to hang out with just the fam. We were there for a week and it was definitely a week needed and loved! Such great memories!
Katie-Lee Kroeker is no more. She's a Frey! I am so blessed to have a brother-in-law like Josh! They're in love and happily married for almost 7 months! It was such a beautiful wedding!
Not much has changed since then, just working at Starbucks and living life here in the Hat. The PURSUIT conference came and went so fast in November and it was such a powerful time of teaching and worshiping!
This year has been filled with memories....memories that i will keep in my heart, but I've got a new year to conquer! God is taking me on a journey into the unknown, I guess that's part of the wonderful adventure, and leading me more and more in love with Him!
