It’s
really interesting to see what I’ve posted this past year: the funny, the good, the bad, the just plain sad and defeated.
God has worked in this last year for sure. So much. SOOOO much. I am blessed. Blessed to know our Lord and Savior. Blessed to call myself saved. Blessed to know some wonderful people who’ve helped me in my walk. Thank you to all who have been any sort of help in that respect, whatever big or small role you played.
I can say that I’m really happy right now. While everything is far from perfect, I feel a sense of peace..and blessing.
That being said, I still need a job, or some sort of activity to keep me busy until my internship starts. I am blessed to even have an internship, though. I need money because I want to feel secure. I know He will provide there (or at least for my parents) as He always has. Speaking of which, living with my parents is not ideal, but they are wonderful people who will (and have) provide(d) for me in every way. I am far away from my boyfriend, but it’s only gonna make us stronger. We’re in this for real. For good. So, it’s good for us in the long run to learn how to be apart but still close. I think I’m learning not to take things for granted in this season of my life.
All of these things I find wrong or not ideal are so small when I really think about it. Doesn’t mean I don’t become frustrated with all of them, but I am blessed. It’s been very apparent in my quiet time lately. God has just been revealing how awesome He is and showing me how much he’s done. He has certainly provided for me greatly this year and for that I am thankful. I am always learning. Something new all the time. Or just the same things in a new light, reiterated. It’s always good. Also, I recommend going through Living Free by Beth Moore. It’s pretty awesome. Yes, I’m reading Beth Moore. Don’t judge. I was already called a grandma for eating Werther’s candies out of my purse this week… :)
Yup. There’s not much to this post. Just realizing from reading my old posts that I’m definitely blessed. And that I should not be discouraged by my current situation, but rejoice in it and not take any of it for granted because God is good. He provides, even when it doesn’t seem like it. I’ve come a long way since August. He brought me through everything and provided along the way when I felt like He wasn’t there. He has answered prayers and worries. He has gotten me here. He will get me through this tough next year. He will get me through life. Why? Because His love never fails. He’ll always be there, when you feel no one else is. And he’ll accept you always. And he’ll forgive your past. I’m constantly in awe of these traits. In awe of God.
Wow. I am blessed. I ramble. I am sleepy. I am learning. I am glad. I am saved. Wow.
