Isaiah 43:18-19
“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
So 2011 has been a crazy year but God has blessed us throughout.
In February my dad had complications with a surgery and practically was dead on the table. He was on a ventilator and made a miraculous that could only be because of God! Even the staff at the hospital were amazed. God wasn't done with him yet!
Stressful semesters in college, crazy schedules and much more and probably not going anywhere but I'm looking forward to what God has planned for us in 2012.
I pray that anyone who's reading this has a safe 2012 and that you have an even closer walk with Jesus Christ than you did in 2011!
God bless,
Elizabeth
