I guess it's a little too late to say Happy New Year, but it has been such a long time since I've posted that I almost feel it's necessary. 2007 is finally over...what a LONG year! When I look back over the last year and all that has happened I am simply amazed by the love and compassion I've received from God. This past year has been equally one of the best and worst years of my life. I turned 23 a few weeks ago and I am confident that my 23rd year will be extraordinary. I consider myself to be an emotional person, and anyone who knows me well would most likely agree. I have experienced emotions this year from the depths of my being that I didn't even know were possible. Some of them I hope that I never have to experience again and others that I want to hold on to for the rest of my life. God has taught me so much this year as well as challenged me. I know that the things I have gone though and experienced, specifically in 2007 have shaped who I am still becoming.
