:: i remember your faithfulness ::

:: Life has been so full these past few months that I've only had time to post photos and very little of what has been stirring in my heart.
:: My good shepherd has been leading me on a journey of trusting Him more through reminding me of His faithfulness.
:: It began with a decision to walk in thankfulness...for everything. For the big things, the small things and everything in between. God gives so much joy and strength to a thankful heart; I have been in awe of it.
:: Then I was reading the first chapter of Matthew and meditating on God's faithfulness to His people, from Abraham to Joseph and everyone in between. I went back to the Old Testament and read some of their stories. With every chapter, I was more encouraged. God is not a God that forgets His people or His promises. He is a provider, a healer, a deliverer, merciful, just, good, and so incredibly faithful. He truly uses all things for good and His glory if we give them to Him. My heart has been continually filled with thankfulness for who He is and what He has done.
:: There is this song by Jon Thurlow called "Your Faithfulness" and I've listened to it hundreds of times these past couple months. It's about remembering the faithfulness of God to the patriarchs and His faithfulness to us. So as this year is ending and I'm looking back at it, I remember His faithfulness to me through it. I'm so thankful for His faithfulness in every single day. He has never left me and He will use everything for His glory and His Kingdom.
