Looking Back and Going Forward

We’re going to ring in the new year in just a few days, and as I look back, I am thankful for all the blessings, opportunities, and growth God has provided this year, and I can’t wait for what the new year will bring. Urbana15 is here, and I am ready to start 2016 in the presence of God!
