Reflections of 2012

Here we are at the end of another year,
It was a year I lost everything I once held dear.
2012 made me face and conquer my every fear,
Now we close this long chapter of my life,
I move forward no longer a wife.
I carry lessons I learned along the way,
Im now grateful for mercy renewed each day.
I learned how to love and hold things with open hands,
Jesus will always hold me up as long as he stands.
I dont know what the next chapter will hold,
All I know is I need to be bold.
My God is faithful to all the promises he made,
So I will do my best to live this life he has laid.
Onward and upward is how I must go,
It doesnt mean I dont grieve and miss things ever so.
Lord, help me through this next season ahead,
Without you I am nothing and I am dead.
Take this life and let it be,
Take my life so I can be free.
