Sorrowful, But Always Rejoicing

Even in the midst of great sorrow, I have so many reasons to rejoice. As I look back over the past year, I celebrate my husband and best friend, my precious daughter, our family & friends and the valuable lessons I have learned. I am so grateful for opportunities to travel, the ability to adopt a child and a new avenue to utilize my expertise and counsel others. I praise God for our supportive church family, our friendly neighborhood, and our happy home. Finally, I give thanks for the trials that continue to refine my character and strengthen my faith.
