A Country Girls Paradise

   She stands by the window, only illuminated by a single candle
in each window frame. Contemplating  her past year. Her eyes
rest on the city lights, remembering just a few short months
earlier such a different life. Amazed, with the ability God gave
 her to see beauty in things so easily taken for granted. In awe,
in how her life has changed. Finding peace and contentment,
she watches the clouds slowly move a crossed the sky, giving
a partial glow to the night. Gazing at the perfectly placed stars
her heart is filled with joy. There is an unexplainable peace in
the quiet of the dark log home that surprises this country girl.
New! Fresh!
   She's been through hard times, arguments, separation and
a wanting to shrink from the pain and madness. Forced happiness,
fake smiles, heartbreak and tears. A place where she never felt
so alone. There have been times when she cried, "Why do I feel!?!?!"
     "I told myself I'd make a brand new start." With Christ as my
center. "I am never looking back".  A New Year means a fresh
start and a happiness unbelievable....finally in God's Will! So
incrediably thankful and joyous is she!
Her life now learning its focus to be on what Christ wants for
and will do in her life. She has gained maturity, patience, joy
contentment and trust in the Lord for her future.
   Her countence is one of ultimate grace, genuineness, joy
"cheery", peace, smiles galore, contented and happiness.
He is restoring me!
  "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace,
who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself
RESTORE, CONFIRM, STRENGTHEN AND ESTABLISH you."
~1 Peter 5:10
