I’ve never thought much off New Years. I’ve never been invited to the big house parties or felt that much of an urge to go. I’ve never seriously made a New Year’s resolution. I’ve never really even thought, “This is the year my life’s going to change!”

I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve pretty much been in hiding! It sounds like I’ve fallen away from God but I couldn’t have fallen more in love with him and just at the right time! I took a break to seek him, to spend time with him and just be with him. I’ve been struggling with all sorts of weird emotions this last while. I’ve been having moments where I wake up in the morning and have...
