Right when i think my life can’t get worse…it gets better by the grace of god.
God throws challenges our way so that we can look to Him for help, growth, and guidance. When it seems like we can’t take the negativity and suffering anymore, He steps in; He takes the burdens off of our backs and holds them for us. In fact, he crushes and vanquishes them for us.
Let Him have all of your worries and your cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.
1 Peter 5:7
Many times, the Lord rescued me from destitute and misery. He was ready to do so when He thought I was ready. That, or maybe I didn’t have enough faith in the Lord to have him take care of my burdens; had I done so sooner, then maybe life would’ve gotten easier faster.
My testimonials of when God blessed me
I reflect on my life when God made his presence in my life when I least expected it. If I lived my life the way I wanted to, then I’d probably be in a dark, dark place now. If I married that one man, I probably would have ended up in prison or years of misery (i.e., he was a two-faced criminal); if I chose to stay in Oregon, then I would be working a dead-end job for a decade; If…this then that and etc. If I took matters into my own hands, then I would not be living this blessed life right now.
“Money troubles solved”
I thought I wouldn’t be able to provide for myself after college. I didn’t have a job lined up for me like my peers did. I was scared I would become homeless. However, God provided ways for me to make an income.

“Found my future husband”
After dating all of these duds, losers, and abusive guys, I was ready to give up and commit my life to my career in the military. But, when I was beginning my mental health transformation, God knew I was ready to have J. in my life.

“I have a beautiful home”
I always thought that I would live in apartments for at least another decade, but God blessed me with the most beautiful home in the neighborhood in a wonderful school district for K. We finally have a home to call our own.

“Meeting good people at the right time”
I met my therapist at the right time in my life where I’m mentally mature enough to accept his wisdom and guidance. Had I met J. or my therapist any earlier, I would not have appreciated and respected their presence as I do now.
