Busy - Busy

 It's hard to believe it's already December! Thinking back to where I was just a year ago, to where I am now!  Yes, what a difference a year can make.  From sleeping out in the bitter cold to living in a new house. From losing everything to gaining things I've needed. From being depressed and feeling hopeless to Feeling blessed and seeing a brighter future. Yes, one year can make a world of difference. And to think it all happened thanks to God .

Touching the hearts of a few friends has lifted me from the bottom to the top. It all started with turning my heart over to God completely. I've always believed and done 'right' but haven't been committed for a few years. Last fall, I surrendered, gave it all to God and let Him have the reins on my life. He lifted me out of the darkness and carried me to a place I never would have imagined for myself. 

 

I've been busy working a lot in the last few months, especially after the last move in August. A lot more bills have crossed my desk, I need to keep up and not let them fall behind. I've been accomplishing goals, getting things done and getting a few steps closer to having all my old bills paid off. That in itself is a good feeling. Being able to acquire things needed and even a few 'wants'. It has truly been a blessed year. 

Praying for my family to heal has had it's own blessings and a few confusing curses. While for some, things are better, some are struggling and one in particular has 'went off the deep end'. I pray for her heart to heal every day. I am confused about the things happening especially when praying so hard for her. Seems the very opposite of what I want is happening. Trusting God to help it turn around. Keeping everyone safe in the process. Sometimes we don't understand how God works. We just have to have faith in His plans. 

I haven't had as much time to write with working and the studys'.  Perhaps next year will be a little more structured and I will be able to set time aside to write. Until then, it's spurts of inspirations jotted down.  I hope everyone has had a good year to look back on and be thankful for. It's hard to believe it's the holiday season already. As I unpacked the few Christmas decorations I have left after selling so much last year, I am truly thankful to even 'be here' this year. 

It came close to leaving before the end of the year.  Once again, I found myself talking myself away from the cliff.  I always tell myself  'give it one more day'. It's got to get better. God grabbed my hand this time. And it truly has been better, with the hope of getting even better yet next year. So, don't give up on hope and have faith. Miracles happen all year, and the spirit of Christmas isn't just in December. 

May your journey be bright! 

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. 

Blessed by God
