Seasons

SOOOO sorry it's literally been FOREVER since I have written in this thing. Life has literally been so crazy and hectic with school, life, and so much more. Well, can I just say that the Lord has just been AMAZING and completely baffling me. Just a little background on me right now, but this is my first ever holiday season being single. I didn't think it would be that difficult or hard or that it would even be a struggle, but it has been so hard. I had to work on Thanksgiving which took me away from my family and basically had me being by myself for five days straight. At first, I was really down in the dumps and just felt so alone and basically helpless. Can I tell you what God did though? While I was in my ridiculous mood, I received a phone call to go and have Thanksgiving dinner with my grandma's boyfriend. Don't you see what that is? God knows EXACTLY what we need and exactly WHEN we need it. It was literally the BIGGEST blessing and just reassurance that the Lord is taking care of me. Sometimes, we get so caught up with all the hustle and bustle of life that we forget just how good and SOVEREIGN our Lord is. Also, lately I've just really been struggling with being single. It's not easy especially around this time of year. Don't get me wrong, this season of singleness has been exactly what I needed and has been so stinking rewarding that I can't put it into words. The Lord has taught me so so much. It's amazing to see where I've come from over the past nine almost ten months and just how much closer I have gotten to him. He really has become my constant companion and truest friend. Anyways, the Lord brought me across this scripture the other day, and it's just really stuck with me. It's Lamentation 3: 24-26, and it says, "The Lord is my portion. Therefore I will wait for him. The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him. to the one who seeks him. It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." The Lord is ultimately all we need. When we start viewing our relationships and other things in our lives as just added blessings, you will be AMAZED at just how blessed you are and just how wonderful a God you serve. It's just sweet. No other word describes it better for me. There is NO better thing to put your hope in than the Lord. He's created this entire universe and still things are able to operate..isn't that much better than putting your hope into a boy, parent, friend, or even yourself that fails constantly. What a GREAT God we serve.
