2015. I cannot believe it! I have so many reflections to sum up from the past year, even the past two weeks! And I’ll get there, all in time. But I’m going to look forward first.

I’m so thankful that my past seven “New Years” have been spent at Cru’s Radiate conference. There’s nothing like seeing over 1300 people worship the Creator to make you step back and consider your own smallness. And to realize, that yes, Jesus is enough for me. This year has brought so much change. A lot of it very, very good. And over and over again, I find myself exhausted by all of it.

But the clock striking midnight seems to offer a new chance. And I’m thankful for a God who’s mercies are new every morning. He offers me a chance to start over whenever and wherever. And this year, I’m going to learn how to breathe. No matter what wonderful and terrible things press in, I want to be able to live fully.

So here’s to breathing well in 2015. Happy New Year!
