And...it's a wrap!

The end of the year, I can't believe it! 2012 was a great one, filled with some firsts for me personally and a great year of growth in the the Lord. I learned to trust His voice more, to act on immediate obedience, and to TRUST Him in ALL circumstances. I learned to go out of my comfort zone and I was richly rewarded for taking chances on trusting God's leading. My life verse for 2012:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Here are a FEW of my favorite moments...moments of growth and fun! There has been so much that has happened this year and unfortunately, some of the biggest growth for me doesn't have a picture to it! I look forward to what God is going to do in 2013!! I love my family, my friends, my church, and my Jesus! Life is good!
Lighthouse mission trip
Overnight date nights!! I have enjoyed these so much. We swap nights with the people we consider our best friends. The boys get fun sleepover time with each other, and we as the parents get a much needed overnight break with each other! Priceless time!

Goofing around with Hubby, we've grown a lot this year
Family trips just the 4 of us
Fresh Beat Band!! My sweet family put up with this for a night just for me!

I've been watching this little girl after school all year, until her parents get off work. It has been such a challenge for me but this little note encouraged me so much!
The run!! Did I mention I finished my 5k??!! 19th place! Wow, Jesus really showed up that night in such an awesome way. I will never forget that moment.
Family vist 
I love that the 4 of us have done fitness together this year! My husband has been a HUGE supporter!!
Puggles in AWANA at church. New class this year and it has blessed my socks off!!
Homeschooling Nathan has been VERY challenging!! Mostly my motivation has been the hinderance. I do feel like he has learned a lot though and I'm thankful for this time with him.
