Undone

Title Inspiration

A lot can change in just 5 months.

The loss of a loved one, whether through the dark hand of death, or the change of the winds, the precious new life of a sweet baby, the roof over your head, the people you poor your life into, and the people who poor their life into you, a new addition to the family, and closing the chapter of another year in school.

All of these have happened in my life in the last 5 months. Needless to say a lot to comprehend,

especially for a person who doesn't adapt well to change.

But through it all God has remained the same. God has stayed faithful to me, even when I abandoned Him. The same God that gave Moses the power to stand up to Pharaoh gave me the power to stand up to my fears. The same God that rescued David from his weaknesses rescued me from my very own self. The same God that healed the leper will heal me too.

In my joy, God is there. In my grieving, God is there. In my hope, God is there. In my dancing, God is there. In my weakest, and lowest day, God is there. In my mourning, God is there. In my waiting, God is there.

I will be the first to admit, I don't always run to Him first for comfort when things get rough. But eventually, that is where I end up. I have taken a long detour to get here, but I'm here now.

To help me through this hard time in my life, I have decided to find one specific thing I am thankful for every day. Now throughout the day I am thinking about what I want to be thankful for. It is good for me because I am thinking of things I am thankful for all day long, and it helps me to see the positives of each day.

I recently heard the phrase: You have bad days so you can recognize the good ones.

So I guess if we never had a bad day, we would never get to experience good days. And good days are what gets me through life. It is from those happy times I develop good memories and have something to look back on and smile when I need to be reminded of the joys in my life.

It makes sense to me.

Anyways. To wrap it up, a lot has changed. I am still dealing with it; trying to catch my breath. It seems that life waits for no one. And I have learned first hand that running away (or sleeping away) is no a way out. It just means that when you finally wake up, you have to deal with it one day later. Consequently, I have a lot of catching up to do. Especially with God. But thank goodness it's never too late with Him. He doesn't have deadlines (except death itself) and He gives you endless mercy and forgiveness.

I am looking forward to continue updating my little blog on what God has recently been teaching me, and where my life is headed. I have high hopes of some new music, new pictures, personal achievements,  God's hand in my life, and maybe even moving this blog to a taste of the Mediterranean shore. 

As of right now I traded in a bed for a couch and a book for a baby. (niece and nephew). But God is doing a miracle on me, and I thank Him for chasing me down even when I try to run away.

What a great God we serve.
