I thank God for the whole “crazy” year that passed. I could have not learned some realizations and grown deeper in Him if it wasn’t a “crazy” and difficult year for me and for some people around me. God has taught me so many things. I have learned to thank God in face of all what, (name all the synonyms of TRIAL)?
But despite all unhappy things this year has brought, I consider 2008 as the most fruitful year for my spiritual life. He taught me the worth of waiting patiently on the answers to my prayers by “being still and knowing that He is God.” He strengthened my faith for allowing everything that had happened to come about. He taught me to always put my trust and leave everything to Him. He is bigger than any problems one could ever be drawn against. With the paucity my family experienced, he taught me the value of humility and importance of money (spending it wisely and being resourceful). He not only made my prayer life stronger, he also taught me the power of praying with faith and knowing what to claim from His Word. God restored me, forgave, blessed, and loved me. How will I not be forever grateful then? Are words enough to thank the only One, who, not even once, become unfaithful to His promises? I am forever grateful to Him who remains true to His promise of “I will never leave nor forsake you.”
The Lord is my only source of strength. In prosperity or poverty, in sickness or in health, God is my joy and my stronghold.
With all the financial distress my family and I went through, I was able to discover and witness the richness of God and the abundance of His grace.
For the New Year to come the Lord tells us something, found in Isaiah 43:18-19. And it says
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”
One more thing: I also want to thank God, that if not because of the problems I expereinced earlier this year, I wouldn’t be blogging right now. I would not find the inspiration to start this blogsite. No sharietots.wordpress.com. =)
