Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

This has quickly become one of my favorites in 2021, a song called "It ain't over yet", my anthem will you... but my God says wait, it ain't over yet!! ♡ I've experienced God's Hand at work as He has restored the broken pieces in my life and put me back together like I need to be, and where I need to be just this year. He has restored my joy and hope... after 3 years of uncertainty, God finished His behind the scenes work, and put me back in the church where my heart was still at... my heart never left, even though I had too. I've seen Him do the miraculous in the lives of others this year already, when it looked like death was on the horizon. One of my best friend's, mom, shouldn't have survived COVID-19 but she did. The weekend they were going to take her off of life support, is the weekend she woke up and started talking. After 3 months in the hospital + rehab, she made it back home to her family.

We know that among anything good, there is always bad but you've got to keep scrolling, you've got to unfollow, you've got to keep walking.

Through this verse (in the picture), Psalm 145:2, I am reminded that we always have reasons to celebrate and praise our God: reason number one, because of who He is.

Therefore, let us all give Him the praises that He is so worthy of. ♡
