The birth of my son, Ian, was the highlight of this year--2010. Besides his birth and for the exception of some family milestones such as Skye attending Kindergarten for instance, 2010 has been riddled with trials for me and my family. And as I would like to forget a few of the lows, I also have to remember how they have helped shape me and mold me to be the Christian and person that I am this very day.
I am looking forward to a new year and perhaps one filled with a few less trials. I say this with the full knowledge that there are some unknowns going into 2011. Ian's left kidney is still a concern and he will be having another round of tests in three months; Paisley has a sinus infection but not a chest infection, so I will count my blessings and thank God for his goodness; I am waiting on results of a mole that was pulled off of my body just a day or two prior that my dermatologist didn't like; and my leap of faith into God's great unknown will deepen this year. With that all, however, I now know that God is with us walking with me and my family every step of the way. He is there to strengthen us and to guide us through what life has in store and what 2011 will bring. I am not sure if I could have said that leading into last year. God is good.
So long 2010. It has been real. Hello 2011!
Amen! 2010 was a mixture of blessings and trials for us as well. Here's to a wonderful New Year!
