Dear Readers,
I apologize for falling off the face of the blogosphere. School started, life happened and here I am almost four months later… writing a long overdue blog post.
I had a lot of plans for this year, and not many of them actually happened. And the word that will continue to be my excuse is… school. This wrap up post will not really be my usual one because it’s more exciting that way. (Actually because I’m writing this and it’s almost 2023 :o)
Sadly, with school I didn’t get hardly any writing done. I wrote some, mostly poetry to help process some of the things that were going on in my life. Most all the prose I wrote was for school.
I also didn’t do much reading, but I’m on Goodreads now if you care to keep up with my reading.
The podcast got neglected after April because I started school. I’m hoping that as I fall into the swing of school and work I’ll figure out my time and maybe get an episode out, we’ll see.
I learned a lot this year. I learned more about me and I learned about people. I learned the importance of being honest with people. And I learned the pain of loss. Above all though, through the crazy insane things that life will throw God is still sovereign and on the throne.
This is where I would usually talk about my goals or resolutions for the new year, but I haven’t given them too much thought at this point…. I’m also working toward keeping my goals realistic so I don’t completely fail, but I also want to challenge myself.
I think I will close this post with the words of Longfellow.
“Then peeled the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep.
The wrong will fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
~I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Happy New Year!
Blessings in Christ,
Mattie May
