Happy New Year 2020 ladies!!! Im back and I know its been a while since I've been posting. The last few months of 2019 have been CHALLENGING for me! I mean it has made me question God and my faith all together. I was ready to go LEFT you guys. But I have to say I thank God for that dark time. It has made me become more real with myself and with God about my life. It has helped me to understand and realize that I need nothing in this world more than Him. Can I be honest?--- I realized yes, I have trust issues but there's no one else I can really trust but Him. Yes, I struggle with anxiety, fear, and even anger (to name a few) but who else can truly help me but Him. And there may be some of you reading this who are dealing with the same things. You feel alone and don't know where to turn. You've tried to find inner peace, to find acceptance and joy in other things (tv, social media, job, etc.) and people (significant other, children, friends) but nothing seems to help. You probably even questioned if Jesus was truly the answer or just not good enough for you but maybe for others. I was there. I was dealing with a lot of things on the inside and I felt like God was nowhere to be found. I felt like if He was truly there, He should have been able to help me deal with these things. He should be able to heal me. I was feeling hopeless, faithless, alone and angry---I will go more in depth about this in other posts--but the more I made the choice to expose myself to the Word, to church and community, is the more I realize He has been there all along because there was always a word that lifted me up and gave me back some hope. God used those things to help me understand...I truly am here...I am in fact with you. He helped me to understand that this is not a sprint or a marathon...but a daily walk with Him. I have to be willing to take up my cross and walk with Him daily. Trusting Him daily. In good days and bad days. When things seem to be getting better AND when things are just nasty and ugly. That's the journey. Jesus didn't promise us a sweet life. He says in His word that in this life we will have trouble--- trials, hurts, wounds, sorrow, discouragement, persecution-- but take heart!! I have overcome the world. John 16:33. We can hold on to this promise...that because Jesus has overcome and we are now in Him (as believers) we overcome. So take heart sis and hold on! May 2020 be the year of overcoming for all of us! May it be a year where we take heart and trust in Jesus the overcomer, the healer, the deliverer! May we continue to walk with Him and take it day by day with Him. He's got us.
