This is the time of year to look back and see what your year looked like. There are many things that could be considered successes. How do you measure yours? I measure them by the heart and also by what my husband and I accomplish together. We do everything together, which I consider to be a major success in this day and age. As youth group leaders, our successes include those many ‘lightbulb’ moments we get to see when the teen finally understands who they are in God’s eyes. As friends, our strength and love are enhanced as we become closer to each of those friends God has given us who have become brothers and sisters. As and author, with my husband’s support and unwavering encouragement, four books were published this year, finishing off the Grace Restored Series. (Book 1 was published in NOV2014.) With each day, each vacation, each visitor who stayed in our home, each teen we get to see each week, and each blessing God has given us, our year has been an amazing one! I pray the next year to be just as successful for us, and for each of you! May God bless you and yours in 2016! God bless, C.J. Peterson (http://cjpetersonwrites.com/)
