It’s my Birthday Eve
If it’s God’s will, I will be celebrating my forty-fourth birthday tomorrow, but before it arrives, I would like to thank God for it. Chapter 43 wasn’t filled with all sunshine, but it had great moments that I am forever thankful for. I learned a lot about myself and the resilience I never knew I had. Many times, I wanted to give up and walk away, but in my weakness, God gave me His strength.
Chapter 43 was a year when I had to walk by faith and not by sight as I moved over 900 miles away from family and friends to a place I would have never chosen to move to on my own free will. God said go, and I went. I have learned to depend on God for everything in this place. Leaving my comfort zone and loved ones wasn’t an easy feat, but it was something I needed to do.
In this place, I found healing I didn’t know I needed. It changed my perspective on many things. Chapter 43 was my wilderness year, where obedience to God was key to my breakthrough. This separation from the ones I loved and depended on wasn’t easy, but it was what I needed to grow and trust God.
I had placed my faith in people to bail me out of situations or help me stay in my comfort zone for so long, and I had to detox from that way of thinking, and in this place, I did so.
I also began to write more in this place and started on this journey of walking out in faith, trusting that I am in God’s will for my life. As I spend the last few hours as a forty-three-year-old, I do so with gratefulness. I don’t know what forty-four will bring, but I trust the one who has been with me from the beginning. So here’s to Chapter 44!
