Looking back...pressing forward

It's crazy how fast the year of 2004 had past me by. It was a good year. It was full of challenges, tears, joy, and, of course, new people. Now, for those of you who know me only "casually" probably don't know of my irrational fear of meeting new people...It terrifies me. Or it used to anyway. But not anymore. I realized this summer that meeting new people isn't such a horrible thing...in fact it's a fabulous thing! If I had been my usual anti-social self I never would've met some of the most awesome people I know. Ali, Becky, Matt, Michelle, Lindsay, Lauren, Tara, Nowell, James, Joey, Jake Adam, Andrew, and Megan! God is a good God. And he loves people! And I love how he provides people for just the right moment to bring you through and fill you with joy. Don't get my wrong, I adore my "old friends"...Eric, Ty, Chris, Lyssa, Leah Lou, Anna, Ry. But meeting the new and melding with the old is about what the New Year is about.

So 2005, what do you got? What challenges and triumphs do you hold? And who will I meet this year?...Bring it on 2005. My Jesus has got my back....

Lovin' it Lovin' it!- Em
