20-Dozen

I guess this is a yearly thing for me now.  After the first of the year reflecting on what has come my way. As it should be for most. These few days are like a new beginning to us all.  I started the 2011 with new friends and getting ready to go back to Mexico City.  Oh, how i miss that place, and those people.  Sometimes when i walk down the streets here in Texas, my mind takes me back to the streets of Mexico City, the sights, and sounds, i remember them vividly.  But the Lord shut the door there, and by his grace will i be able to return one day. As i look over the last year, i see it as a year of Trust.  Trusting that God has prepared a way for me, and even though it is hard, walking with him down that way.  I read the Pilgrims Progress recently, it is all about that.  If you haven't read that book, or it has been a really long time since you have read it, pick it up, read it again.  There is so much to glean from that story.  The Lord provided much for me this year, through 5 months of unemployment, things would come in just as i needed them.  A friend would have work for me to do, or someone would randomly hand me money.  I don't count those acts as random, but as the hand of God himself providing for his children.  The lord is gracious and merciful... I am thankful for the experiences i had this past year in twentye11even.  The lord has set his eyes toward me favorably, and i pray that i will continue to trust in him alone in 2012
