Reflections

For the past few years, I have been using a set of lists (Yay lists!) to reflect on the past year and pray over the one to come.  I don’t remember where I got this idea from initially, but I thought it would be good to share today.  Mingled with prayer and reading though my journal, I spend some time with God talking about the past year.
