Simple Living
My Top Moments of 2017
I think if we were to poll the people in our lives we'd arrive at a near consensus that this year, 2017, was quite unique, to put it mildly. There's a lot to think about when looking back on this year. Our political climate is as polar as ever, the global state of our environment is near breaking point, and our world economy is still not leaning towards helping the mass in need. But this year certainly has its highlights. We need only look at our own lives to find something to be thankful for in 2017.
When I reflect on my personal development over the course of the year I'm proud of the woman God's developing me into. I'll never be perfect, nor do I have any such aspirations. What I hope to always be is developing under His grace. And that's exactly how I'd describe my 2017: growth in His grace. When I look over my personal highlights this year that's what I see, the manifestation of God's unmerited favor. In the midst of leaving two (going on three) jobs, dwindling finances, and abounding uncertainty, there was His grace. Always there, always comforting, loving, and strengthening my resolve.
My top moments this year consist of days or just one day when God's love, joy, and peace overflowed in my life. These are the moments when everything simply aligned. The sun, moon, sea all together to celebrate this one little life I'm living. Here are my moments:

When you lay awake wondering if you've made a dire mistake. When you don't know what to do, where to go, and God doesn't seem to be answering your prayers. What do you do?
