My Year in Review

It is close to the end of the year.
My family is watching The Lord of the Rings, part 3. I am sick - having a sneezing fit as I sit here.
But I have some thoughts on the year that is about over -
I have learned a lot about my inability to control anything or anyone.
I sure try to control, but the Lord of my life is showing me that He is in control.
It's a hard lesson for me to learn.
He is showing me also that since my life is bound up in Him, I need to live like it.
And so I am finding that I am more and more able to do so.
It's me giving up of myself, my wants and desires to do what He places before me to do.
And the neatest thing is, I have found joy in the journey!
What a year it's been for my family, my church, and even for the other communities I am involved in. The struggles have been worth the growth.
I am so thankful for my family and my church family, for God placing me just where He has always wanted me to be. He is definitely working out His grace in me.
Please, Father, Son, and Spirit, do not stop filling me up with your fullness!
And so, I cannot really post a year in review that lists all my accomplishments - I have none to offer. In another blog post, I may tell what God has accomplished. At the moment, it seems I had a very mundane year.
