My dearest God,

I entered this year with puzzled uncertainty. The October before a mind-altering vision had come to me straight out of heaven. I felt blessed beyond belief not only because through thousands of loving prayers clarity had finally reached my carefully protected heart but also because I was able to see, hear and even taste what was heretofore impossible. A dramatic shift had shaken my world, my bitterness had been dissolved grain by precious grain, my ability to surrender had returned and my willingness to follow the challenge in the vision was in glorious place. I leapt forward like never before not knowing the outcome or end result. I moved fully in trust with you.

On this last day of 2010 I reflected back and wandered happily by your side viewing the astonishing series of miraculous events that unfolded. Yes, miraculous! You filled my year with miracles in my own life, in my husband, in my marriage, in my faith, in old and new relationships, and in many gifts, too numerous to mention, my husband and I received together.

Although I can honestly say you have blessed every year of my life, this year has been exceptional at every level. In the darkness came light, a glowing luminescence that pierced and filled hidden pockets of darkness forever opening them to the redeeming grace of your son. And the grace, what can I say, grace transformed us.

To be aware of grace on the first day of the year and the last day is to be blessed beyond comprehension. Grace surely graced my life this year.

If I
never live
another year,
I have
been fully blessed
with your love.
My heart
is filled
with gratitude
and devotion.

Love always, Andrea
