Hello Everyone,
I hope it’s not too late to say Happy New Year???😊
I can’t believe it has been six whole years that my Astor left this world. To be honest it feels just like yesterday and one thing I can say is that there is no day that has passed that I have not thought about him.
As I stood in church during worship yesterday, best believe there was water works. All I could think about was how much grace and mercy God has shown my daughter and I in the past six years. When I say we are God’s goodness poster girls, it is because that is our everyday reality.
So to answer the question that I get asked everytime.
How do I do it????
The only answer is- God
I have been literally carried by God and sustained by Abba.
“For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.”
Psalms 18:29 NKJV
Year Six was the year I danced the most and I cried the least. God provided for all our needs and has done much more.
I really wish I had a lot to say but I don’t. I am just grateful to my God that keeps giving me joy.
I will finish this write up by sharing a testimony.
Last Monday while driving Dara to school we had a minor accident. It was a very cold day and it had snowed overnight. I was quite familiar with the road and I knew where the ice would be. I slowed down once I got to there but somehow my car started skidding and I couldn’t get it to stop. Thankfully there was no car in front or behind me and somehow the car ended up by the side of the road after hitting the verge. My daughter and I were fine but the car was now stuck in a roadside ditch and I couldn’t reverse out of it.
The first thing that came to my mind was that, “there was no one to call for help” but El Roi the one who sees had His own plans. There was a construction site close by and all the workers came out to help us. It took a lot of effort but they were finally able to pull our car out (all the while Dara was in the car). What touched me the most was when one of the women driving past stopped her car to ask me if I needed anything. She asked if I had any child in the car and if there was anything she could do for us.
I thanked her but I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that I started crying. I knew that was God telling me He was with us.
I can say this confidently, God fathers us in such a beautiful way and I am eternally grateful for it.
To everyone that has supported us in the past six years, this is me saying a big thank you.
Indeed we have the strength of many.
Love and Revelational Light,
YJ.
