A Year of Trials and Blessings

It has been almost a year since I graduated from college and I haven't found a job yet not for lack of trying. I always thought this time in my life I’d be doing something different and that I'd have a job before now. I have battled with depression since moving back in with my parents and have learned a lot about spiritual warfare. If you ever have a chance I suggest reading a book titled "Walking with God" By John Eldredge this book helped me so much in my relationship with God.

Though this summer has been rather tough there have been blessings in the last year that have helped me remember that this is a season (Ecclesiastes 3) and there will be other seasons to follow. No matter how depressed I get I have been reminded of Paul’s words to the saints in Philippi

 ^“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content”
Philippians 4:11

  I am going to end with the blessings that have happened in the last year to remind me of God faithfulness.

1. I have wonderful supportive parents who I know pray for me.
2. I have a roof over my head.
3. I have amazing parents who have let me keep my pets and haven’t kicked me out...yet.
4. I had a very part time job for 9 months working for a friend.
5. I have a car that runs.
6. I have been able to get my passport!
7. I became an aunt to the most adorable baby girl!
8. I got to reunite with old friends!
9. I’ve gotten to spend more time with my sister!
10. My Grandmother had a stroke and is improving everyday!

I am excited to see where God takes me this next year! Personally I’m hoping it involves taking a plane!
