It’s a new year, a fresh start. Standing on the cusp of a new year gives me plenty of excitement and hope to dream big, audacious dreams and ask God to pull me deeper into His story for my life.

It’s safe to say 2014 was a whirlwind for me. I grew in many areas and regressed in a few as well. 2014 was a Master’s class in rebuilding my future with Keynote Content. God has opened some incredible doors of opportunity with people whose names I’ve only heard of till now that are becoming more and more everyday faces to me.

2014 also held many struggles, both personally and relationally, where God is opening my eyes to see how much I need to surrender and be refined by His love and grace in my life. I’m learning to love deeper, listen better, and learn how to better put Kara’s needs more above my own. It’s frustrating and rewarding and grace-demanding and apology-provoking and ultimately, I hope it’s focused closer to the love God calls me to as a husband, friend, brother, and servant of Christ.

2014, you were a great experience of chasing dreams, more than a few courageous, future-defining moments, and times where the fear of the unknown and facing realities I didn’t want to face felt like 15-round boxing matches in my heart.

2014, it’s been a ride, but your time is over. 2015, buckle up, I want you to be the best year of my life yet. Game on!
