In 2018, I learned it was God holding up my children. Not me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned that I do not like philosophical email exchanges. I prefer less theory and more practical planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My skin is failing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My children have all surpassed me in musical ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned that I am good at knowing what people need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned that the things I wished for when I was young are still what I wish for now: a simple house, quiet evenings, and books. Oh, and dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate cheerful, fun-loving sidekicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned to not define myself by what I do. I am more than all of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned that my patriarchal blessing has a whole paragraph devoted to what I am going through right now. I always wondered why that paragraph was there. Now I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have caused hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am full of power to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy for me to find something to be grateful for each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned a little more that Christ is always the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 I want to know what to say. I want to go ice skating. I want to conquer some fear. I want to be better at diverting a couple of people from negativity. I want to savor every day with my children while they still live with me. I want to be clear with others of what I know. I need God’s grace to make me meek, open, and unencumbered. 2019, we have our work cut out for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
