As 2011 comes to a close, I want to look back at what God has done in my life. I know it has been a long time since I last updated, but I have given this blog to God to use as He sees fit and to reveal lessons taught.
It has been no secret that I have been struggling the past two years, trying to find a job and make ends meet. I hold no hopes that 2012 will be any different.
What I do know about 2012 is that, like usual, God will be faithful. He will makes ends meet that I have not been able to meet.
In one of the darkest moments I have had in a long time (just found out that my unemployment benefits are gone and I remain jobless), God held me close and told me this:
"I know how afraid you are. I know how hopeless you feel. I know how big your storm is and how dark this darkness is. But, take hope in this, My child. No matter how dark the darkness, My Light can penetrate it. No matter how far down you are, you will never be so far down that My Arms can not reach you. No matter how big your storms may be, I will always be bigger. I am here now and always. Always."
So many times, we as Christians we have this way to optimistic outlook. Yes, I know that God will meet every need of mine, even if it's a need I don't realize I need. I think there are times that Gods wants us to fall on our faces before Him, spilling out our fears, our doubts, our feelings of hopelessness. Yes, He can fix them without us acknowledging them, but He wants us to acknowledge them because then we can look back at how He has worked in our life.
Don't be afraid to tell God what you're afraid of. Tell Him your doubts and your fears. It will draw you closer to Him and you might learn a thing or two about God and His Goodness.
