It’s new years eve. We are all saying goodbye to 2014 and welcoming all that 2015 has to offer. I will be honest though, I won’t be awake at midnight to see the ball drop, I’ll be asleep in my bed next to Patrick with the hopes of welcoming 2015 as a well rested mom.

2014 was a year of change for Patrick and I. We decided at the end of December of 2013 to try and have a baby and in January of 2014 we saw our first positive pregnancy test. It was a year of anticipation of Bennett Journey’s arrival and a year of God’s provision. It’s been an amazing year

WOW! What a year!!!! This has been one of the best years of my life. I have an amazing husband, a super cute son, a job a I love and so many blessings I can’t even list them all. After 2014 has mostly been focusing on Mr. B, Patrick and I are so excited to settle into the routine of being a family of 3 and listening to what God is calling us to do in 2015. The taste of sweet adventures is on the horizon and I am so ready to jump right in!

Oceans by Hillsong United comes to mind for 2015:

“You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior”

I pray that my faith is strengthened this next year. That I am trusting everything entirely in Gods hands. That His plans for our family prevail and that we have the confidence to go through the doors of opportunity that will open.

I hope your 2014 was as delightful as mine! Cheers to welcoming in 2015!
