Instead of the traditional resolutions, which I find feed into the negative tendencies of my deliberate and perfectionist personality, I’ve decided to try something easy and fun for January. I came across a creative list prompt recently, and since I do love lists (who doesn’t?), I’m excited to jump into the joy of list-making “just because” this month! I’ll be doing 30 lists in 30 days, following the prompts in the 30 Days of Lists blog post. What will I do for the 31st day of January? I don’t know yet. It’s a wild card day! Maybe nothing!

As a way of reviewing 2015, I’m starting off with a bonus list of things, whether positive or negative, that have shaped me this year. Each of them has had an important impact on who I am now! God is always working all circumstances together for my good.

1. Pregnancy (literally!)
2. Leaving my job
3. Giving birth
4. Having a new baby
5. The Eric Metaxas Show 
6. Tim Keller sermons
7. Depression
8. Seeing a counselor
9. Lack of nearby community
10. Recuperation time with my family
11. My husband
