| I woke up like this! Did I really just say that? Lol! |
I am in my used to be bedroom at my parent's home before I got married and decided to put up a last post for 2014.
For me as I go through every year, December is usually my month of reflection. During this time of the year, I usually catch myself thinking about what happened during the year. I play back events in my head and ask myself several questions. Why did I do that? why did I say that? what could I have done differently? I recall the good, the bad, the successes, the failures, the "never do that again", the "you should be proud of yourself" moments. To sum it up, how did the year go? how much did I grow?(if at all), and what areas can I do/be better.
When I started out 2014, I wrote down several prayer request. I still have it with me thankfully! I do this every year but usually I lose it before the end of the year. Well.. looking over my request, God has truly been faithful. I always mention the faithfulness of God and I pray it never becomes a cliche statement for me. Whenever I say God has been faithful, I honestly truly mean it. God answered a lot of my prayers and in some areas of my life went above and beyond what I didn't even know to ask for. And for the prayer points that I didn't get a confirmation, I thank God for my very first prayer point which was to keep me alive and healthy. Where there is life, there is hope. I still have my mouth to pray more, I can still press in, and maybe find out what I'm praying for is probably not for me!
I had a pretty challenging year and unfortunately I can't fully share the details of my testimony for you to understand the awesomeness of the one I call Father, my I AM. God took me on a journey this year of learning to trust Him. Personally, I can't say I passed the test with flying colors but I have taken with me so much from the experience.
Here is some of what I've learned and what I can share with you. God sees, He knows, He is in every detail. Sometimes when we go through things, the first thing we tend to do is question His presence or awareness. Be reminded that before you were ever even formed in your mother's womb, He already knew you. He knows the end from the beginning and ultimately His thoughts towards us are of peace and not evil, to give us a future and a hope. As much as some of us love and quote that scripture which is in Jeremiah 29:11, we need to let it really digest.
My prayer for you as you go into 2015 is for you to be FULLY dependent on God. To trust Him without any reservations. To see Him as your father, friend, teacher, lover confidant, doctor.. I mean whatever you need Him for, He is I AM. Also, very importantly keep in mind that if it seems not to be working out or it doesn't work out at all and you know you've prayed, might have shed some tears... Remember! He sees, He knows, He is in every detail. It will work out for your good. It's my prayer for me too.
As always, I will be at church with my fam bam at 12:00AM! I am very excited and hopeful for 2015. May God keep us all alive and in good health!
I am so thankful for all my readers! To date, I have over 25,000 hits(this includes revisits). That means a lot to me. I really didn't blog much this year compared to the last two years and really some days I wonder if this is something I want to keep public, or make private for me (I'm always going to write for sure). I revisited some of my old posts and re-lived some memories I had forgotten. It's so good to remember through words how you felt in the moment. Oh welly, time will tell...
BE SAFE OUT THERE AND HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE TO YOU!!!
