Happy New year and words for 2024

Happy New year to all my readers. I appreciate each of you who have read my blog this year. I finally felt brave enough to share my memoirs with each of you. I’ve wanted to write them down for a long time but started to write and then stopped. I love that I could share it with this community. It feels very freeing to be able to write it. I pray that it helps others and encourages them. It’s a tough story to read but I love the redemption and the healing that comes from the story. The biggest thing for me is that I would not be where I am today without God and people who have supported me in this journey.

I realize that I am the person I am today because of what I went through. God has given me a huge heart for people, especially children and those in truama. Every year at school He brings me a child who needs extra care. I understand, I have that love and compassion and trust that they need. Those people in your life can change how your life in ways that you never can imagine.

Every year I do words for the next year. My words for 2024 are Joy and Freedom. I spent this year in grief lots of loss but finally am coming out of that and feeling better. Throughout all the tough things God was with me throughout it all and He looked after me. I’m ready to feel Joy and Freedom. Freedom from my financial struggles, freedom from an emotional abusive relationship. Bald eagles are super important to me in my life and very significant to me. I love how they fly so high in the sky.

In indigenous culture this is what Google says about eagles. Many Indigenous cultures believe the eagle is sacred because it flies closest to the Creator. It symbolizes respect, honour, strength, courage and wisdom. In Saskatchewan, its feathers also symbolize a step forward, a new chapter in the ongoing story of Reconciliation. Wow that’s powerful.

I’m looking forward to seeing what God has for me in 2024. Do you do words for your new year, if so I would love to hear yours?

Happy new year to you all. I look forward to writing more in my blog and again thank you for reading.
