Happy New Year!
I did not see the new year in but I woke up and it was
January 1st 2013.
As I look back on 2012 I can say that I give a sigh of
relief that it’s over. It was a challenging year, lots of tears, heartache and
a lot of questions. Nearly every day I would get up and go through the motions hoping
that eventually I would ‘live’ again and want to get up.
I know that God is good all the time and that He has
remained faithful throughout 2012. He has walked beside me, holding me and
carrying me when I had no strength to get up and go on. He has provided me with
everything I needed including people who loved me even when I was unlovable,
people who understood that I was hurting even though they couldn’t fully
comprehend the pain and He has given me joys and surprising moments of laughter
to brighten up the bleak days.
I have no idea what 2013 holds! I don’t have a job or even
the prospect of a job as yet but I have saved enough money and God provides so
that it is not a major concern yet. It means I can take some time perhaps to
refocus, explore a little, take time to grow and learn to live again. I pray
that as the days unfold, God will make His purpose in my life known to me.
