I like to reflect on the past year because I think it says a lot about who we are.

When i think of this year, 2015, in general, has been kind of hard. It was hard to work at a job I learned to hate. It was hard to watch people treat people I love a lot poorly. It was hard to watch myself being systematically being phased out of a job.

It was hard to imagine how i would even manage to find my groove again.

It was hard to imagine how we'd all transition out of the comfortable and into the unknown. It was hard to imagine ever feel like you'd find a church you'd like a lot again.

It hard to grow and change and process the 10000 type of possibilities that lie ahead.

What i have noticed, more than anything is that faith is hard. Trust is hard. Trusting God, yes, but trusting other people with your delicate self.

But i've seen the winds change, i've felt it in the air and in my bones. Change has come, and God had provided.

And i just watch him continue to provide. Abundantly in some ways, manna in others. Provision though, is all we really need to keep going.

My life, and the lives of my friends are just testaments to a faithful God and that's a pretty incredible take away from the year.
