Greetings!

I cannot believe this Thursday is Thanksgiving. In some ways, it seems like this year has gone by so quickly, and in other ways, it seems like the end of this year cannot come quickly enough. I just want to take a few minutes to give a little testimony.

This has been a year of trials, and testing, like I have never known before. I have to be honest, there were a few times I didn't think I was going to make it. My body and my mind were so tired of struggling and fighting that I wanted to give up. I have been through a lot, but I have never had a season like this. I have always been able to praise my way through any situation. God has always given me a song to get me through...but this time I couldn't seem to hear my song. It was as if I had crossed over to this dark place and I couldn't see my way out. But praise be to God! He saw that I was sinking fast, and He reached down and held on to me until I could get my footing. The word says He will never leave us nor forsake us...He will always stand by His word. He is so awesome, and He loves us so much. 

So, in this season of ups and downs, ins and outs...I wanted to take time to publicly thank Him for being so good, and so kind, and so loving. I thank God for being my help in time of trouble. I thank Him for giving me a test so that I could have a testimony. I thank Him for sending people who spoke life into my life. Some days, I would be so low that I couldn’t even pray, and He would have someone send me a text or an email that would give me enough strength to make it one more day, and I thank Him.

I thank Him for giving me my song back. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth... (Psalm 34:1).

Until next time...

Be blessed
