While resolutions and looking forward are all part of beginning a new year, I prefer a more reflective approach and enjoy looking back at the year we've just completed.  Smile about the good times....recall lessons learned from the not so good times....being ever so grateful for another year that God has so richly blessed.  Year after year I find myself so thankful that God is never finished with me.  He continues to mold me, teach me, and make me into the person He has called me to be.  Never will he take a break from maturing our faith if we are committed to seeking Him daily.

Here's a look back....
