2008. What a Year

December has been a full month! I can't believe it's 2009 already. Each year seems to fly by faster and faster, bringing changes that we would never have foreseen.

Never would I have thought that....

My oldest sister would become engaged...



My family and I would become involved in the process of adopting two children from Ghana...



I would be blessed with the chance to study under the most amazing piano professor...



I would become even closer to my sisters...



And above all other changes, I would make the most important decision of my life; a decision that made Jesus Lord of my life and left me without a shadow of a doubt that I will meet my Saviour in heaven.

Thank you Jesus for this year, 2008, that you have blessed me with. I love You and can't wait to use the year 2009 to serve You with my whole heart. Direct my steps as I follow Your Light. I love You.

Amen. {Let it be}

Hey! Sorry, I thought I already had commented! Thus year a lot has happened but it has been an amazing year! God is so awesome! What would happen if did not have Him I do not want to think about.

Tis year it seems that you and I have become a lot closer. Thank you for always laughing at me when I try to be funny and correcting when I am wrong! When we were younger I just knew that we would NEVER be friends! God is so awesome! I truly don't know what I would do without you!

Love you!
Joy. ;)
