I have been sitting here all day pondering the difference a year has made in my life and truly thanking GOD for his deliverance. This past year has been one of the most challenging years of my life. Tests of faith, strength, mental fortitude have been a way of life for some time now but I have overcome.
At one point I was very ill physically and spiritually but I claimed healing and received it. I still must take my medication but I am healed to the point that no one would ever guess I had ever been ill unless I tell them. I went through a lot but everything that happened in the process has enriched my life.
Even though it didn't seem so at first, the entire experience has been a blessing. Yes, I lost my job but started a business that is now taking off. Yes, I lost friends but GOD replaced them with people that truly care about my well being. Yes, I lost a love interest but gained a sense of self, purpose and power that I would never have found within myself if I hadn't been alone.
A lot of people would be bitter about all that has transpired but I am just thankful. I have been blessed so much that I hate to imagine what would have happened if I had kept on with my life as it was. I thank GOD, for my life and health and for giving me back better than I lost. I thank my friends, my family, my prayer warriors for being a wonderful support system. Lastly, I thank all those that fell by the wayside. I learned powerful lessons from you as well and I am ever thankful for them.
