it's a wrap!

well everyone, 2006 is about to be behind us. it seems like it just started. i had been feeling like i had nothing much to show for this year, but that's actually not true at all. this year i changed my job (for the better), made a bunch of new friends, changed my hair (for the better), grew in my relationship with God, grew closer with people i care about, overcame an eating disorder, tried a new ministry position and found out who i really am (and some of what i was made to do) somewhere in the midst of all that. the world may not think much of where i am now, but God does, and that's all that matters. and while this year ended kinda rough (for that i'm blaming a lame new years eve last year, i think i jinxed myself) i can say that it was actually a pretty fabulous year because my life is pretty fabulous, despite the fact that it's far from what i would consider perfect. i may be broke and working in data entry, but God has His hand on my life, i have the most awesome friends and i get to work with two awesome ministries in a church i really do love despite it's flawed humanness. and while this year has been pretty dang hard, i can say that a lot of the good that i have is because of the bad that i've been through. the shadow proves the sunshine, right? and despite all the changes that happened this year, i can say for sure that there will be a lot more changes happening in my life in 2007. when i was taking down my christmas tree today i was wondering where i was going to be putting it up next year. will it be in san diego? will it be in california at all? only God knows that. it will be interesting to see where i'm at in a year. if you're reading this then it's probably because you've been a part of my life in 2006 and i hope that the one thing that stays the same in 2007 is that you'll still be a part of my life. thanks for hanging with me through the good and bad, the times i'm great and the times i'm emotionally ugly. i love you all so much. catch you on the flip side.
