I found an old journal that I’ve been looking for while I was at my parents this weekend. I’m glad I found it. It keeps me in sync with the things that God has brought me through. It also reminds me of how much more I still have to go. As I was writing the things in this journal, I was wondering if God would every get me through that time in my life. I was also wondering why He took me through it in the first place as well as why He made me hurt so much because of it. Looking back, I realized a lot. Now I can better understand why God did the things He did and even the way He did them. It was a rough time in my life, and it seems that it lasted forever, but God is indead who He says He is and His promises are YES and AMEN. Maybe someone out there will get something out of it that is half of what I got out of the words that I found in this raged, highlighted, book.
