2012 was an interesting year. It was filled with lots of uncertainties, frustrations, fears, doubts, pain, and tears...lots of tears. I don't think that I have cried any year, more than in 2012. Ironically, though, I must say that God was quite busy with my life in 2012.....more than any other year! How was your 2012? Did everything work out as you planned? Were all of your questions answered? Did you feel that sought after "fulfillment" at the close of the year? that feeling that, "I am better than ever?!" ....OR did 2012 leave you broken... dismayed... feeling betrayed... uncertain of your future... alone... and perplexed? Have I touched your circumstance yet? Well, I just want you to know that, you are not alone! 2012 was a rough year, and most people would not want a repeat of any part of it!
God has a way of bringing us to our knees in order that He can become all of the "missing pieces" in our lives. So many times, we have put all of our hope and trust into things or persons who have absolutely no power to complete us. Think about it. We put our faith into things that tend to break down and deteriorate...then we put our hope into people who are able to fall subject to failure themselves. Everything we put our faith into has the ability to fail! But not God! He is the only constant in a world of one million variables. When our car breaks down, what do we do? We try our best to get another one....If we lose our job, what do we do? Do we just sit around and declare that "I will never get a job and therefore I refuse to look for another one!? ....of course not! We start all over again! ......When miscarriage or a broken marriage threatens every ounce of faith that is left in us, we somehow, some way find ourselves reaching again to attain that which we so desperately want in our lives. Well, I just want to encourage you to trust God again in 2013! No matter what you went through in 2012, you are still here and God has given you all that you need to make it through another year. I know that some of you feel that God didn't come through for you last year, but I want you to know that God did everything that He was supposed to do in 2012. You may beg to differ, however, God wants us to know that, even if you didn't physically see your change, it is there! God already has a perfect plan for your life and as with all else; patience is the key! Don't ever give up on God! Trust him again and again, until what you are praying for becomes reality. You are not alone! We will face 2013 together! Believing, trusting, and hoping in the God of our Salvation. 2 Corinthians 4:8 lets us know that although life is hard, we have not been destroyed and we will make it! And although we go through the fire, we are renewed daily by a God who is able to do anything, but fail.....go ahead, trust God again! and watch him work miracles in you and through you! God bless!
