My Grateful Post

Tweet

I know it seems like an age since I last posted a grateful post. It's not because I don't have anything to be grateful for, on the contrary, I have a lot to be grateful for. These past couple months have taught me a very valuable lesson, a lesson in faith. For a couple years now I was basically whining about my circumstances, wondering why I was always on the losing end of financial blessings. I fought to keep something God wanted me to give up. It wasn't until I gave up that God started moving in my life and moving so fast I couldn't come up for air it seemed. Something new was happening on a daily basis, or so it seemed. I've asked for years to have my faith increased, well God answered my prayer, and increased my faith in ways that went beyond anything I could ask or think. I used to tell myself I had a good imagination, but guess what, even I don't have the kind of imagination that is God sized. God took me from total poverty without any income whatsoever, from losing my home, to having a home and the finances to take care of myself. I have everything because I have the one thing I asked for most - faith. I no longer doubt because I know God will come through for me. Oh I know there will be hard days ahead. I'm at a new level in my walk with God, and with a new level, comes a new devil, as the saying goes. More obstacles to face, more of Satan's schemes to overcome, and more of myself to give away to God's control. Life is a journey of faith, hope, and love. You really can't have one without the other two. I could not take this journey without my family, primarily my son, also my daughter, and at times my older son. I also had my blogging family who has been with me through two sites now. Support from my online friends is just as valuable as that from my family. I want to thank all my friends here for the invaluable friendship I gained from knowing you and interacting with you. You helped keep my faith burning when it was ebbing low. Your prayers helped me in ways I cannot express. You are true friends, even if you might not think so. Thank you. Thanks for reading. Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (KJV)
