Goodbye 2011.  You were a good year.  You brought many good things and many provisions of God.  You did have some hard times and some lean times.  Many lessons were learned in you, and many lessons were ignored in you.  God remained faithful every second of you.  I'm thankful to have lived through you, but I don't think I'd want to live through you again.

Hello 2012.  You are a brand new year, a brand new start.  The possibilities you hold are endless!  We don't know where we will be at the end of you, or what changes you will have wrought.  I pray that I come through you, closer to God and bringing Him much glory.

Happy New Year.
