Closing out 2009

So there is so many things about at this time. How this year began. How it went. How it's closing. And there is nothing more that I can say than.......Praise the LORD! God took me from the depths of sadness and dispair and placed me high in joy and hope. My marriage almost ended. I was on bedrest multiple times in my last pregnancy with the possibility of losing our 3rd child. I've been depressed and wanted to literally die. Then God began to turn things around for me. My marriage was coming back from the dead. My pregnancy went more smoothly. I wasn't so down anymore and the time was coming to give birth to our 3rd child. This year brought alot of tears, temptations, fears, trials, tribulations and more. Some tests I failed at, miserably and some I passed by the grace of God. But this one thing I have continued to do and that is to endure. I have learned to keep my eyes on God through it all. No! I haven't done that all the time but this is a great lesson that I am learning. People will always fail me but God will NEVER fail me. I thank God for this fact. I am standing here in victory. The devil didn't get me like he thought he would. I stand because Christ is in me and I am in Him. I look forward to closing out 2009 in victory and beginning 2010 with confidence knowing that whatever lies ahead, I have already overcome.
