God Makes All Things New!

I am not the same!

Revelation 21:5

Looking back to where I was a year ago thanks to my journal, I can honestly say that I am not the same person now. Last year, I was ready to forsake family but God was faithful and changed my heart. He used special people in my life to help me process things clearly and encourage me to love my sister. I could not have imagined then what rewards my obedience would bring. I now have a better relationship with my mom and my sister. The most awesome blessing came on August 10th last year. God blessed my sister with a beautiful and extra special baby girl. I so much want to be a part of her life as well as my sister's.

With God's help, I strive to communicate better with my mom and sister. I recently made an amends to my sister for having missed the baby shower. God enables me to love and care for my mom following her recent surgery even when I am not at my best. His grace truly is sufficient (Romans 12:9). Time and time again, God has shown me that He can supply all my need. Yet, I am the fickle one that can so easily forget that He is all that I need and thus fret or complain.

Yeah God! He keeps His promises.

Challenge: When has God shown you that His grace is sufficient?

There is none holy like the Lord:
    for there is none besides you;
    there is no rock like our God. 

1 Samuel 2:2 ESV
