As I reflect back on 2024, I would say the theme of the year is a testimony to God’s faithfulness.

For the past couple of years I have really been focusing on my mental health. During the pandemic I started to notice my anxiety and depression come back stronger. So I started the process of getting on new medication and starting therapy. And what a journey it took.

It was a battle of two years trying to find the right medication and learning tools through therapy that would help me manage my anxiety and depression. To say that I struggled those two years would be an understatement. For two years I was struggling with what the future held and who I was as a person.

But 2024 finally saw all the pieces coming together. It was the first time in two years my mental health was stable and I was able to really enjoy and live life!

As I finish 2024, I can see God’s faithfulness. When I was questioning everything on my mental health journey, He listened and He heard me. He never left me and now I have the mental health I prayed for. I just had to trust in Him and wait-which we all know is easier said than done. And it was His strength that got me through those two difficult years.

In the summer I made a decision to invest in my relationship with God again. I had been putting Him on the backburner for way too long. And as always, He proved His faithfulness by staying near me. He never gave up on me and knew that I would eventually come back home to Him.

I am so grateful for 2024 and that God showed His faithfulness to me. I am excited to see what He has in store for me in 2025. I will work on trusting Him fully going into the future.
