Perhaps 2014 was a year you would rather forget. Perhaps it was one of your best years yet! Whatever thoughts you may have about 2014, I thank God that you are reading this blog today. If you are reading this blog, you have the opportunity to see a better 2015!

I leave with you a couple of key scriptures that helped build a rock solid foundation for me to stand on in 2014 that will carry me into 2015:

• I had to believe with all my heart that, “All things happen to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans.” Romans 8:28
• I challenged myself to whether or not I really loved the Lord. Jesus said, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” John 14:23
• I sought the Lord often for myself as well as others. Reminding God of His Word which says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
• I had to Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Not because I felt like it, but because it is the command of the God. Philippians 4:4
• Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. When I did not know what to do or where to go…I thank God that He had an answer for me in the Bible. Psalm 119:105
• Everyday was not filled with tears. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
• Though I could not see God, I loved Him; and even though I do not see him now, I believe in Him and I am filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. Inspired by 1 Peter 1:8
• Despite my tragedies, God has caused me to triumph. Now thanks be unto God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ and who maketh manifest through us the savor of His knowledge in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14
• And now I know, that God has plans me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
