My last claim. I can hardly believe it! Has it really been a whole year? Everything that has happend, all of the changes in me... Will I ever be able to recount, to grasp, all that the Lord has done for me, in me, through this journey? How much has changed! How much I have changed. I can truly say that I am content. I can truly say that I am His. And I can truly say that claiming has become a part of me. What more could I desire? Wasn't this the desired outcome of this journey? YES. Jesus has met me in it and done a work in me. Oh how faithful is our Savior!
So what, you may ask, was my final claim? Something new, something exciting. Something like nothing else I've done before--I went snorkeling, surrounded by schools of fish, rocks and algae... Waterfalls, laughter, and friends. The feeling of swimming amidst colorful creatures was invigorating! I chased them, reached out to them, swirled around in the water near them. What a world!
Final Lesson: life is a choice. never stop living it!

Well done, Bethany! To quote "Strictly Ballroom," "A life lived in fear is a life half lived." You have spent this year being fearless in your claims and fearless in your walk with Jesus and it shows. I pray the best for you on your life's journey.
