Leaving 2019


Psalm 139:18-19 ESV

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand, I awake, and I am still with you.

How truly precious and valuable is the Word of GOD and His thoughts toward all the inhabitants of the earth?

There are several things that I remember about 2019 in aspects of my growth in the Lord. The Lord has given me several Prayer Challenges in this past including Prayer Challenge 2020. The Lord challenged me to write two Bible studies this year and I obeyed. The first is Zechariah and the second is Philippians.

The one event that has stood out to me the most about 2019 happened last week was Christmas! I posted on my Facebook page that I had a better Christmas this year than the previous and I did. Yes, I was sick with a Sinus Infection but I had a great Christmas for it was the first time in I think my whole life where I did not cry over the past events of my life. I did not have all the emotional tossing that most of my life entailed. I got to focus on what is truly important and that is the very reason that Christmas exists in the first place. ALL I have is JESUS! ALL I have is JESUS and that is everything to me!

I can even express how much joy in the realization that Jesus has not only redeemed me as far salvation but to have NO Tears and NO MEMORIES of the past that have haunted me every year even at times on a daily basis is truly astounding to me! ALL I Can say is PRAISE YOU JESUS!

So, in the year 2020, every time there is a hint of a memory or emotional upheaval, I AM GOING TO LOOK BACK ON THIS DAY AS A MEMORIAL STONE IN MY LIFE, WHERE THE LORD HAS BROUGHT THE HEALING TO MY HEART AND SOUL THAT I HAVE SO DESIRED! Reminding the enemy that is the devil where he belongs and what my REDEEMER has done in my life.
