New Year, New Perspective

It's official. 2013 is over and it's now 2014. It's really weird to type that out, but I'm excited.

This year for New Years I was at the Big God Conference at the beach. And if you don't know what that is, it's a youth rally that has been held for 15 years in the same place. There are band and speakers and drama performances. It's a bunch of people together worshiping and learning together.

There are no words that are able to describe the feeling that that place has. It's just amazing how connected you can feel to strangers that share this one common belief and how affected you can be by the right song or the right words.

This has been a really hard year. One I would never want to repeat. But I've grown in many ways. Life is never going to be easy, and we're the ones who have to decide if were going to let that defeat us or if we're going to keep going.

I won't forget these days for the rest of my life, and the main point spoken on for the three days was choice. And something one of the speakers, Ken Freeman, said will never leave my mind. "People make choices and choices make people." 

This year is going to be a year of making decisions and making myself better.

I hope this year is a year of learning and growing for you too.

Love,
Natalie
