2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!”
It’s 2020. It’s a new year, a new decade. We set new goals, have new beginnings, and have new ideas. It’s a time we typically feel more motivated because we put the past behind us and look ahead. We feel excited and refreshed.
Reflections from 2019:
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
2019 was a year I will never forget. It was a year of change, learning, and renewal. Written are reflections and events from each month this past year. Through it all, the hope of Christ remained constant, for which I am very grateful.
In August of 2015 during my first week of teaching at Cornerstone, a random teacher walked into my classroom. Well, not completely random. I hadn’t officially met her, but we both knew of each other because her dad was my middle school math/computer teacher back at Trinity. Susan walked right into my room, gave me a loud, “Hey! I’m Susan. You’re new, huh?” She sat right down and was intentional about getting to know me. I stopped my (probably frantic) cutting out stuff for my empty bulletin board and sat down with her. I knew she would be a friend already.
Psalm 25:1-2 “Lord, I put my life in your hands. I trust in you, my God…”
Life is so different from a year ago. I remember all of the emotion and excitement going through my head last July. I was weeks away from having a baby, I felt incredibly huge, baby showers were over, and I was just waiting. I didn’t have a classroom to set up, which felt so strange. I walked, I listened to music, I played piano for hours, and I ate nothing but vegetable soup. Would the baby be a boy or girl? Would he or she be healthy? How would the first year go? Would it be as hard as I had heard from my friends with new babies?
