Dear God,
It seems
almost unbelievable that this is the last day in the year 2012. It’s amazing that time can move so slowly and
so quickly at the same time.
There were
moments from the very first month in this year when it seemed like situations were going to get the best of me.
There were times when I felt that if I heard one more piece of bad news
or experience one more disappointment I would totally lose it.
I remember a moment this year when I felt as
if all of my hopes and dreams had come crashing down around me and in that
moment God I questioned you. I wondered
where you were in those times when the pain went so deep that I couldn’t even
share it.
But God,
there were also moments this year where I experienced triumphs, moments where I
felt hope ignite within my heart, moments where I knew beyond a shadow of a
doubt that you were with me.
I look back
over this year and I see that you were there with me every step of my journey.
There is not one day that I needed you and you did not show up.
So Father on
this last day in 2012 I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for always being there for me, for
loving me and working on my behalf even in those moments when I doubted that
you would.
This year it
has been reinforced to me that
-you love
me!
-I can
always trust you.
-you’ll
never fail me.
-I can
depend on you.
Father, I
look forward to 2013 with joy and anticipation, because I know that just as you
were with me every step of the way during this year so will you be in 2013.
I love you
Lord!
Your
daughter,
Bernadine
