Goodbye 2012

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup! and surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

Auld Lang Syne is about old friends who have parted and meet again. To celebrate their long friendship, they share a drink together and reminisce of memories from long ago. The basic message is that we should not forget our old friends and should celebrate a reunion with them.  http://www.newyearfavors.com/new-years-eve-song.html

Though I have lost several relationships this year, I've, also, had the pleasure of reconnecting with family and old friends.  I celebrate the relationships that the Lord has blessed me with.  Even through the most difficult times, the greatest lesson I've learned is joy can be found through pain.  I've definitely hurt more this year than ever, yet I have, also, never felt more empowered, at peace and free. 

Mark 5:34  He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
 
2013, I welcome you with open arms!

  1. Good deal to start a blog, my frustration is not getting any readers plus falling out of the habit of posting.
    You might already know there are several apps that help make it easy.
    If you haven't checked it out my blog is as follows.

  2. I will definitely check it out!
    I write for me and if someone happens to read it and has something to say, I love it! If not, that's ok, too. For me, it's more of an online journal of what I'm learning about myself.
