Wrapping up 2011.

As 2011 comes to a close I've found some perfect verses to sum up the last year;


Micah 7:7-10 -- As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me, for I have sinned against him. But after that, he will take up my case and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies. The Lord will bring me into the light and I will see his righteousness. Then my enemies will see that the Lord is on my side. They will be ashamed that they taunted me saying, "So where is the Lord-- that God of yours?" With my own eyes I will see their downfall; they will be trampled like mud in the streets.


Micah 7:15 -- "Yes," says the Lord. "I will do mighty miracles for you, like those I did when I rescued you from slavery in Egypt."


Micah 7:19-20 -- Once again you will have compassion on us, You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love as you promised our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago.


This has been a year full of pain, heartache, hard work, excitement, desperation, unspeakable joy, blessings, provision, and simply everything you can expect from following the King.


A year ago I never could have known I'd be where I am now, and for that I am truly thankful. Jesus has provided for my every need and so much more. I stand in awe of how amazing he is and how willing he is to direct me on His path.


So, thank you 2011 for being the hardest year to endure...but so, so worth it. And here's to 2012 for the abundance of blessings that Jesus has promised. I can't wait to see what is in store.


2 Corinthians 9:15 -- Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!
