The Next Chapter
Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
11 months sober! Wow time surely flies! Last year this week my world came crashing down! I was losing my job, because of my drinking. Difficult pill to swallow even with a spoon full of sugar!!
Since then I was forced to examine my life.... How did I get to this point. Right before this I felt like I had arrived, I was finally earning a very respectable salary and I was going to make something of myself! I have since realized I stopped giving my life up to God, I stopped asking for guidance......
God's timing is everything... Using my confidence in myself as a learning tool to teach me to never stop praying and giving everything to Him..... I was in a desperate place, I knew I could do nothing without giving it all up. Letting the job go, moving, preparing myself for some life changing 12 baby steps!
Every day more baby steps, now working, finishing school, figuring out how to manage schedules, groceries, laundry, keeping up the house.... None of it is possible without God
Everyone in my life is either part of my process or will be continually be on my path.... That is up to Him. Some are just seasons others help me weather the storms and are still there to stand as we feel the warmth of the sun on our faces after the storm.... Thank you all of your part!
Love & Outcome - He is with us
Remember when your hope is lost and faith is shaken
Remember when you wonder if you're gonna make it
There's a hand stretched out through your deepest doubt
We can't pretend to see the ending or what's coming up ahead
To know the story of tomorrow
But we can stay close to the One who knows
We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always
We believe there is purpose, there is meaning in everything
We surrender to His leading
He wants nothing more than to have us close
We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always
Our faith is sealed
Our hope is real
Come what may
We're not afraid
Our faith is sealed
Our hope is real
Come what may
We're not afraid
We're not afraid
We can trust our God
Always, always
We can trust our God
Always, always
We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always
Our God is with us
