WHEN I LOOK BACK OVER THIS YEAR!

WHEN I LOOK BACK OVER THIS YEAR I CAN TRULY SAY THAT GOD HAS BEEN GOOD! THIS YEAR HAS BEEN HELL BUT IN IT ALL GOD HAS BEEN GOOD! HE HAS BEEN RIGHT THERE IN THE GOOD AND THE BAD! HE HAS SHOWED UP FOR ME JUST WHEN I NEEDED HIM MOST! THERE WAS DAYS WHEN I HAD TO CRY AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, ALL I COULD DO WAS CRY AND GIVE IT TO THE LORD! AND HE HEARD MY CRY! HE CAME TO RESCUE ME! HE SHOWED ME HIS FAVOR, HE SHOWED ME HIS LOVE, HE SHOWED ME HIS FAITHFULNESS! JESUS WATCHED OVER ME AND MY FAMILY, JESUS PRAYED FOR ME, HE LOVED ME, HE HEALED ME, HE SUSTAINED ME! I WANTED TO GIVE UP, I WANTED TO RUN AWAY, I WANTED TO DIE, I WANTED TO FIGHT..BUT I JUST PRAYED AND TURNED IT OVER TO THE LORD! I TRUSTED IN THE FATHER! I STOOD ON HIS PROMISES! SO WHEN I LOOK BACK OVER THIS YEAR I SEE ALL THE TRIALS BUT I ALSO SEE ALL THE VICTORIES, I SEE TRIUMPH! I SEE JOY, I SEE STRENGTH! I WON'T REFLECT OVER ALL THE HELL I WENT THROUGH BUT I WILL GLORIFY THE GOD THAT BROUGHT ME OUT EACH TIME! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! YES I MADE IT! YES I AM STILL STANDING! I AM STILL HERE! THE DEVIL TRIED HE WANTED TO TAKE ME OUT BUT I AM STILL HERE! THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I LOOK BACK OVER THIS YEAR! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! BLESSINGS! EJB
