This year did not unfold the way I imagined it would. There were prayers I prayed with confidence that didn't receive the answers I expected. There were moments of deep gratitude mixed with seasons of stretching, waiting, and surrender. And somewhere along the way, God taught me that growth rarely comes wrapped in comfort. I wanted clarity, I wanted timeliness. I wanted explanations that made sense to my human heart. Instead, God often gave me peace without answers--and I'm learning that peace is sometimes the greater gift.

This year also taught me that gratitude changes everything. Even in hard seasons, there were blessings tucked into the ordinary quiet mornings, answered prayers I almost overlooked, lessons learned through love and loss. God was faithful in ways I didn't recognize until I looked back.
Most of all, this year taught me that God is patient. Patient with my questions. Patient with my growth. Patient with my shortcomings. He wasn't rushing me--and He isn't rushing you either.
As this year comes to a close, I'm not carrying perfection into the next one. I'm carrying faith. A deeper trust. A quieter confidence that God knows what He's doing, even when I don't.
What is one thing that God has shown you about His faithfulness this year that you want to carry with you into the new year?
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
Much Love,
Beth
