Farewell 2016, Welcome 2017

At the beginning of 2016, I took Steve Harvey's advice and made this vision board, deciding that this year was going to be my "selfish" year. A year where I dive into achieving my dreams and following my God given gifts. Well, all I can say is, WHAT A YEAR!

 God does work in mysterious ways and boy, did He show me! In one year, I managed to finally finish my first novel and I submitted it to a competition. I joined a writing workshop which is giving me the encouragement and knowledge to not give up doing what I love. God helped me to the find the time to write and help others by becoming a Chaplain. I'm not rich but God made sure I was provided for! Lastly, I got to spend a wonderful Christmas week-end away with my child.

I didn't get to achieve everything on my vision board but I do know that God allowed me to achieve what He felt I had to do and that's SUCCESS and PROGRESS!

The only thing I found I lost this year was BALANCE. It's interesting, well to me, when one area of your life is flourishing, others suffer and it takes a while before your eyes are opened to realise this as you get so engrossed in that one area. So, in 2017, I will keep doing what I love, serving God and serving others through the gifts He has given me but will now try to balance it all out.

To my readers, thank you for journeying with me in 2016. I pray that my blog have entertained but also taught, encouraged and given you the hope you need to know that God does love you, guide you and has plans that will make you prosper. I look forward to our next adventure in 2017.

So...to start off 2017, I encourage you to make your own vision board, put it up where you can see it daily and ask God to help you.

I look forward to seeing and/or hearing about your vision for yourself for 2017.

FAREWELL 2016, WELCOME 2017!
