2013 was a year filled with many wonderful memories and blessings for our family, as well as many times of sadness and heartbreak. I tried very hard to find the good in all things and I feel like those difficulties we faced only brought us closer together and closer to our Lord. I feel like I “grew up” a lot this year. I’ve become stronger emotionally than I ever thought possible, I’ve become more confident in my faith and better able to seek Jesus in all aspects of life.
It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in just one year!!! I love this chance to take a look back over all of our biggest moments from each month!
