I LOVE the Month of December! It's a time to reflect back on the past year, and think of all the things the Lord has brought me through! I also love the cold weather. I love wearing sweaters, scarves, boots, and gloves. I love fires in fireplaces, and outdoor fires where hot dogs, and marshmallows are roasted. I love hot chocolate, and veggie soup, and popcorn. I love wrapping up in a blanket and just relaxing at home. December is also the month of my birthday. This year I will celebrate the fact that God has kept me for 31 years!
When I reflect back to how I felt last year about this time-I can truly say...God has brought me a mighty long way! Last year about this time-I felt desolate, discouraged, disappointed, and I had very little peace. I had been sick for the previous 2 years, and it seemed there was no relief in sight. I felt lonely, and was somewhat afraid to face the future. Although I believed God's hand was upon me, and that He was able to see me through-I was afraid of what I would go through to get to where He wanted me to be. My strength indeed was small. There was one particular situation that had me deeply disturbed, and I was in almost constant anguish over it.
This year, however, God has given me the most amazing peace. Even though many situations are still not what I would like to see them be-God has given me Peace in spite of it. My health is much improved, and I am defiantly back on the track to other improvements. I am no longer afraid to face the future. I am not alone. He is always with me. His strength is perfect-when my strength is gone. I am so thankful for how far He has brought me, and I am counting on Him to take me all the way!
My faith is in the Lord. He knows what's best for me.
Blessings to all this December!!!
