Some 2020 accomplishments (to remind future me): • 1️⃣ I have always wanted to shave my head, so when I finally figured out in April we weren’t going back to school in person for the rest of the school year, I shaved my hair down to about 1 cm. (I would have gone down to the skin, but my mom was so mad already… 😆) This is how much it has grown back. • 2️⃣ I started Duolingo for Spanish in April, and I have practiced 249 days in a row. • 3️⃣ I finished the One Year Chronological Bible Plan. • 4️⃣ I finished writing a sentence (or more 😆) about my day for 5 years in this journal. • 5️⃣ My favorite miracle and answer to prayer was my cousin beating COVID-19 after 2 months in a coma and 1 month of physical therapy. (This isn’t my accomplishment per se…but it was an accomplishment to hold on to hope and faith when everything seems dark…and I know I’ll need that reminder again in the future.) #thankYouJesus • 6️⃣ We’ve done #distancelearning since March…and we’re surviving! A few kids had some kind words to say in my survey, too, which was nice to read. • 7️⃣ This #digitalescaperoom as a last day activity was the best one I ever made. It ended with the kids telling me I was awesome in order to avoid getting homework over winter break. 😂 • 8️⃣ I did my first ever 1000-piece #puzzle. It took me 3 days. • 9️⃣ I cleaned out my drawers and closet for the first time in…ever? I got rid of 8 trash bags of clothes and shoes. • 🔟 I started a bullet journal, and I made a list of my #21for2021. (It sounded easier than a list of #40before40… 😆) • I think this year has had less stress and more rest for me, simply because I think I had way fewer commitments, responsibilities, and drive times 😆. Also, I got to hang out with my family more. I’m not sure what 2021 will bring, but I hope I will keep the right balance. • No matter what, though—good or bad, mountain or valley, comfort or struggle—my peace is with God, and my hope is in Christ alone. 🎵 Because He lives, I can face tomorrow… 🎶 and 🎵 with every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God. 🎶 • I will NOT accomplish staying up until midnight, so I’ll say it now: #happynewyear, all! ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfhLvrsZXa/?igshid=f63ce4fmxtw5
