Two-Oh-One-Two in Review

2012 was my FAVOURITE year so far, but I say that about every year that passes.

My First Day of 2012 was spent in Church leading a Children's Story about putting God FIRST in our lives. It was the first day, of the first week, of the first month of the year. It was the first day to put God first in our lives for 2012.
