Regardless to what is going on around me, I love my life. Although I am still not where I would like to be, I'm not where I used to be. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I am in a good place. God has given me one more opportunity to get it right; and guess what? I am going to do everything I can to do just that.
I will no longer allow the enemy to have power over my thoughts or my actions. I will trust God with everything I am and all that I have. I will meet the challenges that are placed before me. I will listen to and do my very best to make things happen.
Where is this coming from you may ask? Good question. Recently, I had someone who is very dear to me give me a reality check. I know this person has my best interest at heart. They've taught me a lot just by being who they are; and I am excited to take on this challenge. Why? Because I know my latter is going to be greater than my past just as God has told me in Job 8:7,"Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase."
Though my beginning was humble, God has promised me in Jeremiah 29:11 of a plan that supercedes all other plans, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." As long as God has the plan, I know that things will work out. He told me in Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." For this reason alone, I will trust the Lord. I will honor the word as it is noted in Psalm 56:4, "In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."
I have had some eye opening reality check moments over the past few months that I will not let go unnoticed. Just like the old gospel song, I've had many tears and sorrows, I've had questions for tomorrow. But, if I never had a problem, I would not know that God can solve them.
Therefore, I believe every word that is written in the book. I believe God had me on His mind when He the Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
So yes, I haven't always felt this way but right now, I am convinced that God is working in me and that He is preparing me for something greater. Be encouraged my sisters, God is working in you too.

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father.
