If your reading this… you made it! You made it another year! Thank….You….GOD!!!

Are you surprised? Did you achieve any goals you set for yourself? Did you have set backs or big changes in your life?

Well 2021 was a doozy for me, and I understand it was that way for a lot of other people too, perhaps even yourself. So many of us have gone through soooo much- and I cannot compare my stress, imagine the pain or fathom the thought of what many others may have lost or struggled with personally this past 365 days.

There were over 286 million people who died from Covid-19 globally this past year. Many of us are still struggling to find a job, have lost a job, or are starting a new job during this trying time. Perhaps you or someone you know are dealing with other health issues in the middle of a pandemic. At the start of the year, the economy had tanked understandably because of the crisis and by November, inflation hit 6.9%, a 39-year high.

On the other hand, there are many of us who have continued to push through during the Covid-19 pandemic. People have continued to study and finish school, start their own businesses, volunteer their services, get married, purchased homes and had babies, travel and achieved other life long goals.

Regardless, ugh- I am so glad that 2021 is over!!! I have been up to my eyeballs with stress this entire year, I’m not gonna lie. I have so much on my plate right now- personally and professionally, that it isn’t even funny. I have been struggling to leave my worries up to God- yeah I know I should, but that’s been easier said than done. I just continuously pray for God’s grace and mercy, for his blessings to be bestowed upon me and my loved ones, for mental, emotional and physical protection from those who wish to take advantage of me, hurt me, and use me… I pray for overwhelming peace in my life, and everlasting love that goes beyond what I could ever comprehend. I wish the best for everyone this year, forgiving is my goal- I will never forget but learn from my mistakes. Lord help me to help others, to be a shoulder to lean on. I pray that I can travel a bit this year, and get out of the box I have been in for so many years. I want to be a better person inside and out, showing more of the Christ in me then ever before. I hope to grow in faith, and not fear. I pray for God to forgive me of all my sins and give thanks to Jesus, who died for me and for you too.

I also wanna get a schedule of actually blogging again and also get some things done off of my bucketlist 🙂

So! What are your wishes for 2022? Any New Years resolutions or promises to yourself. What are you thankful for, looking back at 2021? I’m so curious! Leave a comment and let me know below.

And as always thanks for reading!
