Many of the things that were accomplished this year were not even on the goal list I planned for 2023. There were some surprises, some disappointments, but over all I can say I am grateful for everything.

I got to complete a bucket list item in 2023. I got to spend the evening standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris with my good friends.

Aside from that, I am grateful that He chooses me. Even on days when I don’t choose me. He chooses me.

I am grateful that Jesus is not like me. He is faithful. This year has been a testament to his faithfulness to me.

Thank you, Lord.
