Dear 2015,
I have learned so many lessons and I truly believe that 2014 was a turning point in my life. I’ve never been so happy and adventurous and excited about life before. I’m ready for whatever this year has in store for me and I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Happy New Year!
