The year is once again coming to an end. As usual, this means I am doing a lot of reflecting.
Going into 2019 my goal was to be fierce. I stated “I want to be the strongest, bravest, fearless version of myself yet! I want to believe in myself more than I ever have. I want to make a difference, be the change, and I want God to use the passion He has placed in my heart to be fiercely successful and reach my goals! I want every part of me to be fierce!” 2019 brought some of my biggest and hardest challenges but had some great moments as well: -I started student teaching -I joined Kappa Delta Pi honors society -Student teaching had to end suddenly and be postponed. -I was supposed to graduate, then didn’t because of the situation above. -Treated myself to a week at Disney World -I turned 26 -I started questioning everything I ever knew -I became a leader in my job -My confidence sky rocketed -I learned and grew a lot in my faith -I spoke a mini sermon on a Sunday at a youth retreat -I got my own office -Began student teaching again -I quit student teaching -I checked myself into the psychiatric ward at a hospital and stayed for a week -God brought me out of that mindset with a beautiful dream that He healed me -I gained an amazing support system -I met the most incredible man who loves me -I got my first car Given everything that has happened this year, I’d say I was fierce. It is definitely not what I thought was going to happen this year. And it’s not exactly how I thought I’d be fierce. But I was. I got through some of the hardest moments I’ve ever had in my life. And I handled them well. When I needed help, I got it, even though it was met with more challenges. I made super hard decisions. I learned. I grew. I met everything with fierceness. I refused to let anything break me. I refused to let others opinions define me. I refused to let my depression beat me and I refused to let the enemy weasel his way back into my life. I was strong. And brave. And fearless. I believed in myself. I was successful. I was fierce. For 2020 I decided the theme will be Groundbreaking. Groundbreaking, as in starting anew. Innovative. Pioneering. Starting new change. 2020 is going to bring HUGE change. I feel it. And it’s terrifying! But it’s going to be groundbreaking! It’s going to start a new chapter in my life and mark a new way of doing things. It’s going to be a new beginning! 2019 is the end of the decade. The end of this chapter in my life. 2020 is starting a new one. There is so much change coming! So many new things are going to happen! But because of the fierceness that 2019 brought me, I feel more confident than I ever have that I’ll be able to face this change head on and allow it to be a positive experience. I believe I have a firm foundation in God that will keep me not only steady, but secure throughout the change. This is the first time I really have no idea what this next year is going to bring. But I feel like it’s going to be bigger than ever. Monumental. Only God knows what’s coming, but whatever happens, I have plans on making this an amazing chapter in my life, because I feel like it’s going to be an important one. Change is coming! Let’s start breaking ground and embrace the new chapter that’s beginning! Get excited! Have a happy New Year! Much love and God bless, -X
