Wow, 2012 is over … how did that happen?
That 366 days flew by … and as I look back I’m filled with gratitude for all 2012 held for our little family. I’m still trying to figure out how my girl will be 13 next month but I’m oh-so-thankful for the person she is becoming. I’ve already begun making plans for a 17th anniversary trip for Scott and me—and I’m wondering how in the world we are both over 40!
I can’t believe that in 2012 I released 3 books: Prayers from the Pews, Parenting from the Overflow, and Self-Publish! To hold these books in my hand is nothing short of a dream come true.
2012 also gave me the opportunity to speak in several places and rekindle my passion for pursuing a speaking ministry. {If you are looking for a speaker for your church or ministry group in 2013, I’d love to work with you!}
This fall I was able to partner with one of my favorite companies, Dayspring. We encouraged celebrating a Redeemed Christmas and remembering the promise of Messiah didn’t end in with a baby in a manger but instead is still awaiting us as we will spend eternity with Christ!
I’m still writing a weekly column for our local paper and working with Design by Insight but I’m also formatting ebooks and consulting on marketing through my own business. That’s another dream come true … to use my skills and education to help others achieve their dreams. I’ve worked with authors, small businesses, and non-profits to develop plans for using social media and other modern marketing tools.
2013 promises to bring all new challenges and celebrations. Next week I’ll be sharing several exciting projects I am working on and revealing my One Word for 2013.
I pray you have a wonderful and rich 2013—filled with blessing, laughter, friendship, and a growing intimacy with the One who has called you by name {Isaiah 43:1}.
Happy New Year!!
With love,
Teri Lynne

What an amazing year. Wish I was in charge of some ministry, but you are always welcome to just come and chat over coffee, tea, or whatever. So exciting to see what the next year holds. Happy new Year!
