Highs & Lows

2018. What an interesting and fast moving year! For me, as I’m sure for most others, this year was full of great and not so great memories. Just like in the picture below, it seems as though this year was full of joyful “mountain high” moments. Along with deep, painful “valley lows.” 

For me personally, I had one of the best days of my life in 2018. I got to say “I do” to the woman of my dreams. To say that it was a “mountain high” type of a day would be an understatement. Other than my faith, she is the best thing that’s happened to me.

We’ve traveled to a couple of different places across the world. We’ve laughed so much, moved into our first home and have so many great memories. And yet this year has also included some very tough moments as well..

From the death and burial of two family members, health issues and other tough times, my wife and I have been severely tested in just seven months of marriage.

I would imagine that as you read this, you can probably relate to what I’m saying. Maybe you’ve had a really difficult day, month or several months this year. Maybe you’ve experienced so much joy that you can hardly believe it.

You may be excitedly going into 2019, looking forward to what lies ahead. Or just excited to get away from 2018. Or you could be entering 2019 with a fearful dread as we head into the unknown.

But whichever category you find yourself in, I’d like to offer the solution that’s carried me through my life’s greatest and worst moments.  

“Go in the way of peace.”

Peace is more than a temporary feeling, peace is a person. No matter how high or how low life has been for me, it is Peace that’s kept my life balanced. And I’ve only been able to find true peace in the person of Christ.

And that same peace is offered to you and I in 2019. If you’d like to talk or learn more about this peace, feel free to head over to my contact page and reach out to me. May this next year be your best year yet! The best is yet to come.

Until then,
