Snowy 33

33 begins today.   32 was an eventful year to say the least.   32 brought me closer to the Lord despite circumstances.   32 brought boxes and lots of them. 32 brought purging. 32 brought hope. 32 brought me my future husband, my forever . 32 made me a mom.   Oh, and I finished my Masters, which seems insignificant in light of everything the Lord has been up to.   But, above all that 32 brought me, it brought me a new understanding of God’s sovereignty, His love, and His mercy. I know I sound like a broken record when I say that I’m in awe of what the Lord has done and how He chose me for this journey.

"Does that change that I am still on the throne?" What if the circumstances don’t change? "Does that change Who I AM?" "Does that change the Promises I have made?" "Does that change My Love for you?" What about the glimpse of hope that the circumstances are changing? "Circumstances change with the wind, but I remain the same." "Is your hope in Me? Or in the circumstance?" “Or in the outcome?” “…when the test says no baby.” "Keep your eyes on Me." “…when the diagnosis is cancer.” "Keep your eyes on Me." “…when the waiting is too much.” "Keep your eyes on Me." “…when the betrayal knocks you on your face.” "Keep your eyes on Me."
