Looking Back

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

~ C.S. Lewis

Happy New’s Year Eve friends! There is only a few hours left of the year and of the decade. I don’t know what your year was like. I don’t know if it was filled with highs or lows, but either way tomorrow marks a new beginning, a fresh start.

But before that happens, I like a lot of people, take some time to look back over the year. I find that I often forget all the things that took place during the year. It’s been said that memory is an unreliable narrator and I couldn’t agree more. The present always has a way of coloring the past. I’ve found it helpful and fun to complete what I’m going to share.

I’m not disciplined enough to journal daily, but I love the thought of having a record of my year. So, while I couldn’t commit to a daily entry, I could jot down a few lines about my day on the back of a tearoff calendar. I’ve done this for several years now and I really love it. Then on New Year’s Eve I sit down and look through the last 364 days. I love the memories that come up that I forgot. I love seeing what I found important enough to write down 6 months ago. What you see pictured above is a little peek of this years pages.

I’m going to save the rest for later tonight. I’ll end up keeping a couple of them to hold onto the memory. If you’ve never done something like this before I highly recommend trying it out in 2020. I promise you’ll be so happy to look over your year next New’s Year Eve.

Praying that you end this year in good spirits and are ready to see what God is going to do in your life in 2020.

To Everything There Is A Season…
