It is good to Reflect and Examine your last year before the new one starts. At least that has been one of my beneficial habits. So today I am looking over my journal from this last year trying to see where my Papa has taken me and the things He has revealed to me. Just as I made the list for gifts for others this Christmas, I will list these revelations for me. I encourage you to do the same.
1"Jennifer,I know you are thirsty. Come to the water,buy from me the things that cannot be purchased. You don't need anything but desire."
2.He is collecting my tears. That is how much He loves me
3.He is lifting me up with His strong arm
4.He takes away the reproach of the widows
5.He daily takes away my burdens. His mercy is new every morning
6.The righteous ( those who keep their mind on Jesus) will flourish in the courts of the Lord and will bear fruit in old age
7. In visiting those in prison, He is releasing me from my prison of loneliness.
8.God's grace has allowed me to: Change churches; let go of Billy's clothes; sign a contract for the book; rearrange my house for Jeff and Shanna, Ava and Cole to move in; Start a writing class; Enjoy the arrival of the Book; Give talks and start a blog and sell the book and most of all have some success in waiting with hope for the future. Only God can give any of these things.

So I finally stopped long enough to clean up the "in" box and found your email to your blog... which I love. You are such an awesome person and I know that our Father is SOOOO proud of you ~ I am. I bless you and miss you!! Love ya... Tonie
This reminds me of the song "count your blessings and name them one by one and you will see what the Lord has done"
Wow! God indeed is good. I rejoice with you on this journey. We are all on different journeys. Thank you Jennifer, for sharing your own journey. Thank you for putting yourself out there. If we will just stand still and count our blessings, we can see really that our God is good.
It is my prayer that God will continue to strengthen you and uphold you with His right hand of power.
Wow mom. I'm almost there to jumping back in with pursuing God more. I'm recognizing more and more people who are continuing to pray for me and encourage me even when I don't feel like fighting for righteousness all the time. Your reflections are an encouragement to chew on further/later. I'll ask God to help me find a time when I can reflect on this last year as well.
