2012

Another year has ended. A year that has brought about an amazing amount of change as I look back and reflect.

~ relationships ended with sadness and hurt.
~ relationships maintained and strengthened as we stayed together through difficult times.
~ relationships renewed as dear friends and family came alongside.
~ relationships that grew as lives intertwined.

Adonai, our G-d, we give thanks and recount Your praise...

~ increased awareness of my past and what lies within.
~ laying pain and sorrow before the Holy One repeatedly.
~ breaking free of old patterns, destructive patterns.
~ growing pains as maturity comes.

... for our lives that are committed into Your hand...

He guides my every step be it easy or challenging.
He provides times of refreshment and laughter amidst the tough times.
He heals as only He can.
He places my feet on a path ordained by His hand, a sure and secure path.


... You are the G-d and King who heals, the G-d Who is faithful and merciful.

I am grateful...

~ for friends who have humbled me with their love and care.
~ for sisters who remind me of what I had neglected and that make me laugh.
~ for a beautiful home filled with light, peace, laughter and love.
~ for provision from the hand of the Master.
~ that I spent the time to earn my education degree.
~ for travel opportunities and times at the beach.
~ for small furry friends that bring comfort.
~ for feathered visitors that make us smile.

Now, I look to the future...

~ for wholeness of mind, heart and body.
~ for emotional strength and confidence in who I am.
~ that relationship might be restored.
~ that joy will replace the sadness that lingers.
~ for travel opportunities with my besties.
~ for time with family.
~ for gainful employment.

Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has brought me to this time and place with a far brighter future than I could ever hope for. May His Name be blessed and glorified in everything I do.
