This month, January 2009 marks an anniversary in our lives. A prodigal son came home from a very long time of pit dwelling and a woman with equal time in a pit chose to believe that with Him all things are possible. Our heavenly father looked down upon our sorry mess and gave us a New Beginning. Our family started the process of receiving a healing from the Lord Jesus. He spoke into all the broken places and because of Him when things were at there worst, He made us to be at our very best.
As we look back and celebrate Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior, we can't help but hang our heads and let the tears fall as we praise him for His shameless grace in our lives. My favorite bible teacher Beth Moore has often taught about the timeline of our lives. We have the ability to remember all the God stops along the way when we rest in His Presence and allow our minds to journey back and see the things that could have only come from a God who loves us more than we can ever fathom.
So today I choose to tell Him that if it were not for His divine intervention into our live 10 years ago I can honestly say that our family would not be together today. I love you Lord and I am so grateful for your never ending love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, restoration, correction and hope.
"For I know the plans I have for you,: declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future, Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV
