What is seen and experienced in this moment versus what is possible. The reality I knew- I had a tremendous plan for my life and it felt nearly flawless until it fell apart. Now what?

In 2020, I will continue to build my faith. The last time I hoped for something really big- I was waiting on a miracle that never happened. In that pain, I was cradled in peace and I discovered God in a way that I never would have if not for this unthinkable loss. I have been through so many changes in the past five years. I have shared fragments.

Last year, I frequently wrestled with “why me to effect change” and “Does my voice really matter?” I enter into 2020 more ready than ever to effect change. Everyday I wake, I am given the opportunity to continue to write my story, not in ink but in the way that I live. I ,too often, take this for granted. This irony gives me grace for others.

I enter this year embracing the journey ahead. My hopes and my faith are at an all time high but not nearly as big as they need to be. I am super excited for what God has in store for us this year. Are you with me? Together we will effect change on a global scale. If this is the path that my future will take, I have asked God for courage and provision. Navigating change and living in faith are challenging, still we are better and stronger together.

Historically, I have not shared until I have procured it. This journey is different. I cannot do it alone. I will continue to share because I have joy and hope and that in itself it a testament of God’s grace. I never wanted to write until I realized that I have a story that I must share.
