Oh gosh, I feel as though just yesterday we entered 2018 with a bang, and here we are, just hours into 2019. Happy New Year, my friend! If you have been following me on social media, you know that I took a break from blogging – I actually posted about it a few months ago (check it out here). I needed some time to regroup and relaunch because I didn’t feel like my blog was going the route that I wanted it to go. I was blogging, yes, but I was sort of just trying to keep up with some of the blogs I follow on different blogging groups. My heart wasn’t in anymore. So I decided to stop for while so that I could encounter God and experience His guidance in this ministry.
The first 8 months went great. I really did focus on being happy no matter what. I definitely went through some things but I always remained positive and reminded myself that my circumstance did not determine my happiness – I determined it. But the last four months really took a toll on me. I experienced change. And we all know that change is often times hard to deal with and accept. It took about 2 months for me to accept the changes occurring in my life. I was angry. I let my circumstances take out the worst in me, until one day, I had an encounter with God. In that moment of that encounter, the people around me prayed for healing over me, they prayed for a new mind and a new heart. And today, I can honestly say that God was the midst of those changes and I’m thankful, because I know He is taking me to new levels and I’m ready for what He has for me and my family.
In 2019, I will be focusing on decluttering and getting closer to God because my life doesn’t depend on being surrounded by a bunch of people, no. My life depends solely on God. He is the giver of my life and my salvation and I don’t want to lose either because I put my focus on something or someone that could not give me what He could give me.
