So I have decided (as you can see in the last couple of posts) to start going through some of my notes from this year as well as to start reading a little more. And as I do this I think I will post the occasional quote or thought from all that I have learned. Enjoy and I hope you all can learn from it, I know I certainly have (and continue to).

The end of a season and the start of a Resolution
Well my resolution for this week began yesterday morning. Where I decided to listen to what God had been working upon my heart which was a need for honesty and openness. Something I have been working on in the past and yet I have still not mastered. Yet it comes up again because the need presents itself in this time of farewells. So this week I have made it my goal to be honest where words need to...
