2013 is gradually coming to an end. I haven't experienced a more eventful year in all my years of existence. Stuff happened to me. Roller coaster ride things. I had to move over and let God take the wheel. Three jobs in one year? It could only have been by God's grace. The biggest testimony of them all is the joy unspeakable I now possess. Joy in spite of the sad news I occasionally received during the course of the year. Joy in spite of that relationship I lack. I may not be where I want to be right now but the journey has been worthwhile because I've felt God's presence with me every step of the way.
Yesterday I sewed my first dress after four months of tailoring school. Phew! The dress looks terrible lol. Seriously, it does. I can't even wear it across the main street. Still I'm so happy. I'll have to make adjustments to it and maybe it will turn out great. I quite enjoyed the process of sewing it despite how physically and mentally tasking it was. The sewing machine behaved excellently and NEPA didn't cut off electricity :D. An enjoyable and tasking sewing process yet an imperfect dress at the end of it. A bit like this point in my year so far. Don't get me wrong, this year has produced loads of good stuff but there's that one critical prayer request that seems to have been put on hold. But I'm hopeful. Oh yes I am.
I'm thankful for a great year, thankful for God's blessings, thankful for the bumpy ride. And just like I'm going to adjust that dress to make it as beautiful as possible, I have faith all things are working out for my good and that my heavenly Father will grant my heart's desires as I delight myself in Him.
