I can't believe how fast 2009 went by! It did get off to a sad start when my mom & I spent a few weeks in Indonesia mourning the loss of Oma. And it sure had it's up and downs, especially the months between April and September, from church issues to relationships and jobs. But in spite of everything that happened, God was faithful all the way through. He closed and open many doors and led me to where I am today. Hope you enjoy the list I compiled to kick off this new year!
