And Still I Rise

It's been quite a while since my last post and life has been moving right along at a frightening pace. Through it all, not only can I say that I am still here but also that God remains faithful to His promises. Each day has it own unique challenges but even better than that, each day has its share of blessings and surprises. So far I'm enjoying 2016 and  the mountains have outnumbered the valleys. I am delighted to report that I don't look like what I've been through. Some changes are truly blessings in disguise. I can say that because I'm happier now than I've been in along time and I didn't realize how much peace had been missing from my life.

The first quarter of the year is over-time flies when you aren't stressed the heck out. My new normal is agreeing with me.  God knew and ordained every moment. Trusting that His plan is good although painful is much harder to accept. You find yourself at a crossroads wondering how is this going to perfect me and mold me into a more Christ-like individual. Then one day you wake up and realize you have made it though the trials  and storms and you are no worse off  but you've gained a wealth of knowledge and your faith is stronger than ever. The Bible tells us that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus and that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. I can tell you that both of those verses anchored me through tough times. Your sustaining verses may differ but make sure you have a Word to anchor you and keep you in the difficult moments. It makes a world of difference to have something to hold onto.  

I obviously haven't done well posting.I can't believe my last post was in December. I apologize. I will try to do better.  My mind is moving in a million directions but I am constantly asking the Lord for wisdom.  I am contemplating some serious changes but I want it to be His will, not mine. My contemplation will probably become a future post. As I continue to rise from some tests, I just want encourage anyone who supports me by reading my posts, that you too will rise from the mess of your circumstances. Trust God and trust the process, even if it's painful. Accept help and support along the way. Pray specifically and often. You too, will rise. Be blessed and be a blessing.

Perhaps this song will help, Andra Day is doing the damn thing in this song:               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNKu1uNBVkU
