2014 was literally the hardest year of my life. Okay, maybe I exaggerate a little, but honestly, this year was tough on me. I was tried spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially, educationally, and financially. There are probably other "ally's" I'm missing too.
Remember how I chose "courage" as my word of the year? Boy, I had no idea the real adventure heading my way.
It took courage for me to move to Provo and stay there all semester. Especially when all I wanted was to leave.
It took courage for me to attend church week after week in Arizona even though I was ignored.
It took courage for me to quit my job at Kramer Law Group, after three years of running the place.
It took courage for me to move back to Utah in November.
Courage to let others in created new friendships in my life.
Courage to say yes to one blind date led to a great evening with David Archuleta.
Elder Holland tells us that there is no higher manifestation of moral courage than is an honest declaration of faith ("Lord, I Believe'). I can attest that many times this year I needed courage to exercise faith and trust in the Lord.
As goes the quote by Mary Anne Radmacher, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."
2014, good riddance!
