1 Year Down

Whew. It's been a long road. A long road full of potholes that I just felt like I couldn't get out of!  Fortunately, God saw to it that I didn't stay and wallow in the mud pit--I finished the race....exhausted, but still finished.

The past month has been a true test of my faith. A multitude of new (often hurtful) challenges occurred one after the other. I kept waiting for a break in the storm, but the waves kept coming and knocking me further off course. 

Do you want to know what kept me from sinking into a permanent pit of despair? 

Psalm 94: 18, 19:

^"18 When I said, "My foot is slipping," 
       your love, O LORD, supported me.

 ¹⁹ When anxiety was great within me, 
       your consolation brought joy to my soul."

In the end, it was only God that was able to console me. When others couldn't understand, God had to pick me up. And He did. I am so thankful. I know that the storm will come again and that I will once again flounder in a sea of lies, but I know that in the end, my God reigns. My God stands up for His children. My God is a Lion and a Lamb. And He's what I need to depend on.
