Remember last New Year's when everyone said "2020 vision"? If anyone of us could have only known what was right around the corner just a couple months away.
But the truth is now, hindsight really is 2020. We have finished off the year that no one could have predicted and started a brand new year.
There has been so much pain for so many over the past 12 months. Personally, professionally, physically, and our family has not been exempt from heartbreak. However, when I reflect back on the course of the year, I can so visibly see the way the Lord has orchestrated our steps, and blessed us beyond belief even in these trying times.
We soaked up sacred family time that we will never get back, just the three of us.
Sweet friendships were strengthened through encouragement, during the challenging times of the grind of day in and day out motherhood during a pandemic.
The most beautiful beach and boat days, and the hours and hours spent outside. I've never been more grateful to call such a breathtaking place home.
So much extra time with my parents and their flexibility to jump right in whenever needed.
The birth of our adorable nephew, and becoming an aunt, uncle and big cousin for the first time.
Answered prayers for my Mother in law's health and a successful surgery.
Finding out our precious rainbow baby boy was on the way!
Hindsight is 2020, and while I am grateful to have this year tucked away, I'm also forever thankful for the way it stretched me, and forced me to lean not on my own understanding. To never take for granted my family's health, going out to dinner with friends, story time at the library and the park.
To enjoy all the little moments, the bike rides, home cooked meals and flowers growing in our backyard. So I'm taking these things with me into the new year and praying blessings to you and yours for 2021.
