God meets you at your level of expectation
-Joel Osteen
2018 truly was a blessed and wonderful year. God gave me the word “COMMITMENT” in the beginning of 2018…to stay committed to my goals and responsibilities, no matter how I felt, no matter the numerous times of wanting to give up, no matter what was happening or my fears. It was just about staying committed to TRUSTING GOD in the midst of it all. I have seen over and over, small and big miracles and blessings, major transformation in my mind, body, and soul and have seen the fruit of my commitment and faith grow as I continue to put God first and stay proactive in life.
For this new year, 2019, I believe my words are “EXPECTANT and CONFIDENT”, confidently expecting to see great things happen this year, to see God do big things in my life, to witness breakthroughs, to be used by him and be a blessing to others. To expect God’s power and might to do the impossible, to complete his promises and fulfill the desires of my heart and what my family and I have been praying for day and night. To be persistent in prayer and obedience.
But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently, [expectantly and confidently]. Romans 8:25
“I wait [expectantly] for the Lord, my whole beings waits, and in his word I put my hope” –Psalm 130:5
“I expect your help, you have promised it.” –Psalms 118:81
I believe this new year will be better than the last. I believe God will allow me handle bigger, harder things and bring new tests in order to grow in character, patience and love for others. I’m excited to see what’s to come! Thank you, thank you 2018… through the trials and tribulations, through the victories and blessings, l am learning to live a life with less fear and more faith, with more love and courage, and forgiveness in my heart.
God you have never and will never fail me, so I give you this new year, waiting and expecting you to work in my life, in ways I could never imagine.
“God can do much, much more than we can ever ask or imagine”… Ephesian 3:20
Remember:
“Without faith it is impossible to please God.” –Hebrews 11:6
“All things are possible with God.” -Mark 10:27
Reflection:
What is your word for 2019? What are you hoping, praying and excited for this new year?
