I feel that many miracles happened this year through many hard situations and circumstances. And God has been faithful. I had moments where I seriously questioned God and what the heck He was doing and why He was doing it. I felt confused and lost, worried and hopeless! The grand miracle is that through all that mess, I realized there were so many areas I trusted myself or security over the God that holds all things together. I trusted my plan, my work ethic, and my good intentions for things to go well.
But in His grace, my mind has been continually renewed and reminded of the truth - that I am beloved, a child of the living God, who knows all things and leads me besides still waters and walks with me in my darkest valleys. His love for me is perfect, so when I have trouble in this life and feel that no one understands me or when I cant even understand myself, He is with me and knows me. And He, Jesus, is all that I need.
He is my Light
Thank You Lord for the trails and triumphs of 2016. I am eager and full of hope for what's to come.
