Joyful Transformation

My weekend vacation put me a little behind on my best of post....
Most you will not care about, but maybe someday I will want to remember.

The top 5 things I learned in 2005:
(In no particular order)

1. God answeres prayers in ways greater than I can ever imagine
2. People leaving hurts and leaves a hole in your life, no matter how prepared you think you are.
3. Friendship is one of the great gifts of God. It grows deeper and more beautiful when you invest laughter, tears, hopes and fears. I am blessed by friendships that have grown deeper and by new friendships, some with folks I have yet to meet.
4. Senseless murder and death can never be explanined or understood. Only faith in God and his great gifts pull us through these times of great heartache.
5. There is nothing greater than being a grandparent. I love that sweet boy and can't wait to meet babies A, B & C!
