As I sit and reflect on 2015 I sit in awe of everything that has happened. The blessings in disguise and the trials that brought me to my knees realizing that my Heavenly Father was the only one who could pick me back up again. This year has by far been the year for growth and strength. Growth spiritually, mentally and physically and without the strength from the Lord I do not know how I would have got through some of the trials He placed in front of me.
I’ve been praying asking for the Lord to reveal to me a word that I could focus on for the year 2016 and before I knew it I had the word obedience written down in my journal… It couldn’t have been more true. How many of us try to give God an excuse, or an explanation…. Well God I don’t want to today, or I don’t want to get rid of that relationship.. I know you want me to but it’s not the right time God. We try to justify to God because we are so caught up with these worldly pocessions and worldly actions. We become selfish instead of selfless..
Being obedient is one of the hardest things to do but it is such a blessing. God knows what He is doing so why should we even question? Seems simple enough..
I’m ready to listen, a challenge for myself for the year 2016 is to trust in God and be obedient. No matter how many friendships I lose, family members disagree with me, people I have to tell my testimony to, get up in the most uncomfortable positions and talk about my amazing savior I am going to do it without question! He has blessed me so much leading me to the exact path where I am supposed to be.
2016 couldn’t be any more exciting.. Thank you Lord for all your amazing blessings of 2015 and I can’t wait to live out your word and serve you this year. This journey is short compared to the eternity we get to spend with God, lets make the best of it here on this earth doing everything to build His Kingdom.
