God answers prayer even when it is not what we had expected. I am noticing throughout the losses of 2009 my prayer life has improved. Whether it was for my dear cousin, my family, my marriage or just the everyday stuff in life. I pray that I continue to take prayer seriously in 2010.
Dana went home to be with Jesus two days before Christmas. I am finding that her journey was marked with making moments last and celebrating life. I pray I continue this legacy. I keep coming back to the phrase: the battle was fought, but the war is already won. I thank God for her legacy and her 48 years here on earth. I want to continue to raise awareness and support for those undergoing cancer.
I am headed this upcoming weekend to a knitting day. I know nearly nothing about knitting, but hope to knit something that looks like a cap. It is for a kid with cancer. This is one way I can leave a legacy for Dana.
Looking back on everything lost and gained in 2009, I found some favorite verses James 3:17-18. My husband Aaron gave me this verse he found in the fall. I want to make it my life verse.
"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."
I will continue on this path. I will make mistakes. I will screw it up, but with God's grace and a little patience I will continue the course.
This year has opened up new doors of employment, a new church, and new opportunities. I want to thank my friends and family who have been so supportive throughout this journey. Thank you!
Here's to a brighter 2010!
