2019 In Review, and My Prayers for 2020

I’ll admit that I love the first of the year, not for the idea of resolutions (although I don’t have anything against them), but more for the intentional time, it takes to think back through what was.

So, as I review the year I thought I would share with you some of the amazing things, some learnings, and what I am praying for in 2020.
