Some Thoughts Entering the (Almost) New Year

I want to write an end-of-the-year post. A lot of blog writers do this, and while I haven't been at the keyboard much in the latter half of this year, I find myself seated in front of my screen, hands on the keys, prepped and ready for inspiration.

The truth is, the new year doesn't really start until January 10 for me. I want to write about all the things that took place in 2012, but I know the next week and a half truly represents the closing of my year. I suppose I'll just wait until then to really dig in and write out the details of all that's happened in this past year for me and my family. There is so much to tell, so many lessons learned. But I think God has at least one more before the end of these next 10 days.

For now, I will simply say that I only had one real goal for 2012: to get through it. Nothing fancy. No detailed maps. No new year's resolutions. No earth-shattering visions. Just make it through. And by the grace of God, we've done just that.

...and so much more.
