2017 In Review
this is what i'm wearing for our pj/board game NYE party tonight !
hat//Dillard's (sale!) pjs//Kohl's (sale) necklace//Kendra Scott
2017 was a really hard year for me. i learned so many lessons & the Lord brought me through so much. i realized that i am not invincible & i am always art in progress & God holds the chisel. i went through highs & lows. i experienced unspeakable joy & gut wrenching sadness. sometimes He has to knock you down to put you back together. 2017 wasn't a bad year, although i could say that it was. BUT i will choose to end this year on a high note recognizing that it was full of lessons.
at the beginning of the year i wrote my New Years resolutions & here the are:
become memorable at my school
smile more
spend time in the word & with God
love people the way God loves me
be less critical of others
get all my grades over 95
be more honest with myself
do what i love with who i love & be happy doing it, no matter what Satan tries to do to stop it
love God & love people
i have fulfilled some & I'm still striving to complete them. but i wanted to share some of my New Years resolutions for 2018 with y'all. here they are:
cherish every moment
take more pictures
call my nana once a week
relax into God's plan for my life, but not be relaxed in living it out
get fit for the cruise in May
push myself out of my comfort zone & do things i wouldn't normally do
end high school strong with no regrets
walk into college with strength & tenacity that only comes from the Lord
take more bubble baths
be even more honest & transparent with my readers
finally realize that my worth is in who Christ says i am, not what the world says i am
for some of you those goals may seem nonspecific well you would be correct. goals are things you should be able to reach & i know i will fall short sometimes so when i have a more general list of goals I'm more encouraged to do them consistently. that's just how i like to do it. so maybe you want to adopt some of my goals, maybe you want to throw them all to the wind, i don't mind. goals are personal & from the heart. everyone's heart is connected to different things. so there ya have it folks, 2018 i'm ready for you.
what were some of your favorite things that were on Saved By Grace in 2017 ?! my favorite was probably sharing the home renovations we did over the summer on my insta & insta stories !
