This month has most definitely not been easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I have grown so much through this harsh autumn. Winter is just around the corner. Snow will fall. I will be covered in white. Made pure.

I have learned so much from the pain my difficulties brought. I have learned so much about who my God is. I have learned so much about friendship. I have learned so much about having gratitude rather than regret. I have learned so much about staying soft through the hardship.

I’ve been stained by lies. Lies fed to me by others, lies fed to me by the demons in my head. However, the Lord is transforming me. I am learning to trust Him. I am learning to seek Him. I am learning to tell apart the truth from the lies. I am learning to see myself the way God sees me.

I praise my God in the storm. He knows what He’s doing. He has made me promises that will be fulfilled. He means no harm. He wants me to prosper in life. He is on my side. He is rooting for me. So is my family. So are my friends. 

December won’t be easy, but I’m going to make it. I am strong enough. My strength comes from the Lord. The Lord is my Light in the darkness. The Lord brings me joy. The Lord brings me peace. The Lord brings me faith, hope, and patience. The Lord floods me with love.

I am pruning. I am growing. I am learning. I am becoming new. I am new. I am clean. I am joyful. I am at peace. I am filled with love. I am well.
