A reminder

So as I sat on the airplane for 6 hours yesterday and then 8 on Friday I began to think about the past year. It is amazing to me all the things that happened in the last year. The fact that I am where I am- both geographically and relationally is pretty amazing! God is good! He moved me away from the beautiful sunshine and warm beaches of Miami to bring me north just in time for the coldest winter they've had in years. God has a sense of humor :) And then He brought me an amazing man in the process (who lives in a completely different state altogether! Yeah HE has a sense of humor alright!) But, aside from those 2 big things, He has also provided along the way for things that I need and also things that I want. I am always amazed by the wants that I can purchase or I receive through gifts. I was definitely spoiled in Miami where I didn't want for much (except in the summer when I didn't get a paycheck! but even then, not really), to coming here and receiving my first paycheck where I cried because there wasn't enough money for the bills. But, God is good and I've been learning to trust Him. I thought I learned that when I told Westwood I wasn't coming back but didn't know where I was going- but apparently, I still had more to learn. Now, I have to trust Him for the daily things and even though, I don't have full cabinets at home, I haven't gone hungry yet. I have a great apartment for a great deal and it's 10 min from school! God has blessed and I'm so thankful that even in the hard times, He provides and shows Himself to us. Believe me there has been plenty of times when I've cried and asked the Lord "WHY!?!?!" But, He always reveals His perfect plan in His perfect time (I'm still waiting on a few things!). I may be a few weeks late with this reflection, but that's ok- it's still the beginning of a new year and a new phase of my life- where once again I need to trust HIM!
