Where would we be?

I look up to the hills, but where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 121:1-2 (NCV)

We all need to take sometime as we welcome a new year to reflect on aspects of our lives. We all have had to deal with tough times and struggles in our lives. Have we ever really, my self included, taken the time to sit and think of how we made it through those times?

I know what I have gone through in my short 26 (almost 27) years of life. There have been times that I have just wanted to give up, but something happens and what I was going through ends. The situation is resolved or I get a new job, or a new car, or how ever it needs to happen the issues are taken care of.

There have been plenty of times when my parents have bailed me out of what ever situation that I am going through. I have had to count on my brother or sister or other family members. There have been times when all I had were my friends, but I have always gotten through the situation.

Now that 2008 is here another situation has come up, but I know that I am going to get through it. Not because of my family or my friends. Not because of anything that I do on my own. The only reason that I am going to make it through this and what ever else might come my way is the Lord.

God is the one that has given me the strength to make it through these situations. He has given me the understanding or the knowledge to work it out. He is the one that has allowed my family and friends to be there when I need them the most. With out him were would I be?

But you need to ask your self where would you be if God wasn't there?

May God bless you all in 2008 and keep checking for new postings.
