Don't Stop Believing!

After the past couple years when I felt like my life was falling apart, it has taken a dramatic turn lately. I have had an incredible couple weeks. I have seen many prayers answered and felt so blessed! My house has finally sold and we are closing on February 27th. I am feeling better than I have in years. Bryan and I are very happy and feel exceptionally lucky to have been set-up by our mutual best friend. I feel at complete peace turning down a job opportunity that I had always thought would be my dream-come-true to stay here and live out my dreams that I never thought were possible. I have wonderful family and friends that are always around and encouraging me to be a better person.

None of this would be possible without God and His awesome power that is at work in all our lives. Quite often in the past couple weeks I have told people that I don't feel like I deserve to be this happy and have this many blessings. I know that I don't deserve the life that God has chosen to give me. It has been painfully difficult at times and there were times where I couldn't see a way out. I have been a Christian for most of my life and no matter how hard it got, I never gave up because I knew that God would be there to see me through. We are told in Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." God will never fail us as long as we always remember that He is in control. Deuteronomy 31:6 says "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Thank you to all of you who have stood by me, sat with me when I couldn't stand, listened to me complain, cried with me, rejoiced with me and prayed for me. My life has been changed by all of you and I am so humbled to know that I mattered enough in your live for you to love me. May God bless you all as richly as he has blessed me.
