What a year

The year started out great - I had a good job, had recently married the most amazing man ever invented - and then I get let go. YEAH - right when the job market was at its worst I get let go and now I have to go on a job hunt and compete with hundreds of people for one job.
But truth is that the year turned out to be a good one. I had time to spend with my husband and really focus on my relationship with my husband and with God. I got the opportunity to really get to see what great things God was going to be doing and had been doing in my life.
Now as the year ends I start to look at the many blessings that God has given me in my life and all the great things that he has done for me. I am expecting a baby in June, I have a husband who rather then get mad for my lack of finding a job - he just loves me, I have been able to work on my relationship with God and really get to know him.
I have been blessed beyond my imagination. I know that many would think that getting laid off would not mean its a blessing but it is. We need to think about what God has planned in our lives and make the best of those hurdles, the challenges and even the easy moments of our lives. I mean life is not easy at all and if it was then what would be the point.
Something that I have been told time and time again, is that if I can make it through this then i can make it through anything. UM Yeah I can. Because I have learned to let God be my guide and let Him dictate what my next step is going to be. God is a great God who knows what He is doing and we need to trust him when he says "'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Jeremiah 33:3.
All we need to do is call to Him. simple. not to hard. But at times I would and have found myself making that call to Him a hard task. But it should not be. He is at our finger tips at all times. He should be number one on our speed dial at all times.
So what has this year taught me - God is my 411 and He never puts me on hold. He is my one constant and will always be my ONE CONSTANT. Trusting in him should not be something I have to think about but rather something that comes naturally.
I cant wait for 2010 when I can continue to see his amazing works in my life and really allow him to continue to work in my life. God is great and Life is Good!
