Blessings

I love Laura's Stories' song Blessings.  I remember a few months ago crying throughout the whole song. I was wondering how I was even going to handle all of the changes life had brought me.

Now as I look around me, I am in awe of what God can do in just a few short months. I suppose I should remember that God can do anything in an instant.

I am so blessed! I had to leave my home at Hartville, but now I am close to family. I had to leave a great job, but God provided another great one in it's place. I was in pain from losing a relationship, and now healing and moving on. God is providing new relationships. :)

I know I'm not perfect and that I need to continue to strive to be more Christlike. All of the blessings He gives makes me want to even more! I know life won't always be a bed of roses, but with God I can make it through even the tough times. He uses the tough times to strengthen me and brings me into something so much greater!

I think of this verse and it reminds me of all of the blessings I have in my life. It pushes me to love the Lord even more!

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."   -Romans 8:28

My blessings came through raindrops and tears, but looking back...it just might have been worth it! Take care everyone. Shine for Jesus!
