2012 – What have I learned?

Reverb has a really good prompt today.

Compare the “you” from the beginning of 2012 to the “you” that you are now. What new skills or talents have you learned or discovered this year?

I’ve learned a lot this year, both in the form of new skills and about life and God’s leading.

Here’s a look back at what I’ve learned…

The importance of missionary work.

How to make a fantastic pizza sauce. So many people volunteered favorite recipes and we had a wonderful time testing them out.

That we have been financially blessed by God and have learned how to manage these blessings well enough to move across country and start buying furniture without credit. We also paid off our last credit card earlier this year.

While in Michigan, my mother-in-law taught me how to knit. I’ve started and completed several projects since March.

I have learned how to rely on God so much more than before. It’s been a crazy year. My father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and I spent nine weeks in Michigan helping the family. My husband was given permission to move his work from Arizona to Washington. Our male cat was traumatized from the move and had some serious issues that resulted in almost $1,000 in vet bills. In all of this, God has provided and guided and is teaching me how to trust Him regardless of what is going on around me.

I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings.

One Thought on “2012 – What have I learned?

  1. What part of Michigan were you in? We just recently learned we'll be moving out to the Grand Rapids area! I still don't quite believe it, :-).
