Well here we are...my year in review

I can’t believe 2009 has already passed. On the 23rd of Jan it will mark my 1 year in Australia. Waiting in 2008 for all the adventures to start it is hard to fathom that it has already passed by. Life really is like a vapor, here one minute and gone the next. I still have time down under but I don’t know how much longer. I’m just resolving to live each day as it comes. Since I am not good at writing consistently I will let my pics speak for 2009.

This was only a few that I picked out of the thousands from this year alone. Thank you to all who have been praying for me and encouraging me along this journey. It's been one of the hardest and yet BEST years of my life. I know 2010 has more instore for me as I step out in faith to all the unknowns. I'll leave you with the 1st pic of 2010...a reflection of whats to come I'm sure.

Until next time,
Cindy
