When faced with crisis or trauma, I process it all by talking/praying out my feelings of frustration, thoughts, questions, rants, cries of anguish and heartaches.  And, eventually, my words and cries slow down, my heart shifts focus, and it’s then that I begin to remember where my faith rests and in who I place my hope and trust in. 

Today, God still wants a relationship with us through His Son, Jesus.  He invites us to accept Jesus’ forgiveness for our sins and receive the gift of eternal life. 

Throughout all of 2021, I saw the faithfulness and goodness of the Lord in every part of my life. Not everything that came in 2021 was pleasant - it wasn’t.
