2013 has been one of the most tragic years of my life. I came into 2013 grieving the loss of my son and I'm leaving 2013 grieving the loss of my daughter. I've been depressed, blamed everything that has happened on myself, and had several pity and woe is me parties. My relationships with family and friends have been different. My marriage has been tested in all areas. My career has been up and down. I've been questioning why me Lord? Why am I on this journey? Why did I loose my children? Then this past week spending time with my family for Christmas, my husband was interviewing my parents for a new series on his blog called "Ordinary People: Extraordinary Faith". My mom was explaining her greatest test of Faith and she said she never question God during that time she simply said "Why not me God?" God spoke to me through my mom and through all of the tragedy and situations I've been through in 2013, I'm still standing and I've been abundantly blessed. God has met all my needs and given me an overflow of blessings. Why not me God? Why not let God use this mess as my message? Why not let God use me as vessel? Why not share my story so that he can get the glory? I've been looking and questioning God in 2013 for answers but it's so clear that I need to have that "why not me" mentality going into 2014. In 2014 all I want is for God to continue to mold and use me as a vessel even through tragic situations because he deserves all the glory. I hope that all areas of my life grows exponentially from my growth in Christ. I will continue to grow in marriage and ministry with my husband as we continue bible study. I will focus on my career and side hustles. I will be pregnant in 2014 for a 2015 baby!
