Happy Birthday Dan The Blog

Today, my blog turns 1 year old.  When a blog hits a milestone, its good to look back at the previous year.  I started this blog in large part as a journal for my thoughts.  I thought it would be a good way to kind of sort out some of the things I had running through my head and a way to deal with some of the pain that was in my life at that time.  Because of the date,  I made my blog a type of new years resolution.  I feel like I've kept the resolution since I am still writing in it, but more than that, I am in awe of the work God has done in my life over this year.  At this time last year, the best that could be said about me was that I was surviving.  I didn't know where I was going, what I was supposed to do about it, and what my purpose was supposed to be.  I began this year with a fast to seek answers to my questions, and the answer I received was "patience".  God has provided me with so much this year, from the healing of my heart, to a new direction in my career, and a wonderful girlfriend that I'm so crazy for!  I hope you've enjoyed reading my blog this year, and I look forward to what adventures lie ahead of me in 2010.
