2008

in review, this was a bittersweet year for me.

bitter: saying goodbye to my two babies, they will forever be in my heart. i will never fully understand why they were taken from me; i can only find peace in god's timing.

sweet: knowing that everything happens for reason, allowing my heart to soften, to give and receive forgiveness, and grace to erase the walls of hurtful pasts.

so cheers to a new year, a new mind-set.
