A new year is upon us, and I must say 2017 has been quite a journey. I jumped in a way that changed my life dramatically. I learned to walk by faith and not by sight. It was not easy, and I was stretched in ways that at times seemed unbearable. All I can say is but God. In 2018, I plan on handling things better, and I know my faith will grow even stronger. Here are some highlights from my 2017 year.
