Now in theory, it sounded easy. Quickly choose and post fourteen of my own personal favorite blog posts that I composed and hit the publish button on in 2014.
Starting to browse back through 2014 and choose the posts became a different story.
There’s so much heart and meaning in our own personal stories. Lots of the stuff here at A Delightful Glow doesn’t affect or mean that much to all that many people. Yet, we each have our own stories intertwined in our lives and when its “ours” it means a lot. Whether we blog about our life or our faith or our decor or saving money or good deals or ranch or farm or big city life or hairstyling or modesty or clothing or whatever it may be, there is a part of ourselves that goes into each post. When I click the blue publish button, there’s a part of me colored into it.
Through ups and downs, valleys and hills, as we live our lives, we create story. We make memories, we dream dreams, we work through rough times, ever composing, ever changing, Living! Life doesn’t always come about the way we think it might. When my farmer and I look back over our lives, we’ve seen dreams fulfilled, we’ve seen a lot of events happen and we’ve had a lot of things turn out in very unexpected and even undesired ways. Yet is is OUR story and I do embrace it. All of it. The good and the not so good, the fun and the not-at-all fun.
As 2014 ends, embrace YOUR story and cling to our God. Step into 2015 with trust in Him and for Him and of Him! Remember the goodness and the blessedness, the lessons and the growth from experiences in 2014. Peace to you!

1 Peter 5:10-11

To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
