It's been a crazy year!

It’s been a crazy year!  Current mood:  tested  Category: Life I don't believe that I've ever experienced a more eventful year than this one has been. So many things happened in such a short period of time that as I look back on everything, it seems as though it's been much, much longer. I can honestly say that 2007 was one of the worst AND best years of my life! I'll bet not many people can say that and mean it! lol  For those of you that don't know, here's a quick recap: My ex husband got caught cheating on me for the 2nd time on December 17th of 2006. I filed for divorce on January 8th. I started dating someone new (for the first time in 9 years) in Febuary. My son had his 1st birthday in March. I got a (2nd) job outside the home (for the 1st time in 4 years) in April. My divorce was finalized on June 11th. I started dating several people in July. I fell in love (I hate that phrase, I really CHOSE to love someone) in August. I quit my 2nd job in August as well. I bought a brand new Chevy Silverado in September. I got married on September 21st. Ummmm, I think that's it. So, here's my point... No, not really. lol I don't even have one! I'm just reflecting "out loud". I guess since you read all of this expecting it to go somewhere, I'll make one up. How bout this for a point: You remember that saying "When the going get's tough, the tough get going"? Well, it's true. I'm living proof. So, if the circumstances in your life ever get so bad that you think you can't go on... you can. No matter what,you can. Get up and get going. Push through it. When you have no more strength left, call on God. He is there, waiting for you to let Him help you. Don't believe in God? Well, it's a good thing He doesn't need you to believe in Him in order for Him to exist! Phillipians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength". 2 Timothy 1:7 says "God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind". There is one other saying that I'd like to insert here. "This too shall pass." There is nothing that God will let us go through that we can not endure. Besides, I'm sure you've all heard this one: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger".  Hopefully 2008 will be a peaceful, less stressful year for me. I am looking forward to another year of watching my children grow and learn. I am excited about starting a new year with my new husband! I can not wait to see what blessings God has in store for us. I pray God blesses you all this coming year as well! No matter what you face, whether good or bad, remember that God is in control. When you need help, ask Him for it. When things are good, praise Him for it! Happy New Year!
