I had an illness that was making me extremely miserable night and day. The doctors did not know how to treat but could only give me steroids to keep the condition somewhat manageable. Work was filled with unpleasant politics that it took a lot of courage to just walk through that revolving door on Madison Ave.
But God has been faithful and He has helped me to get through each difficulty after another. He has provided me with brothers and sisters from our fellowship to pray for my recovery. He has provided me with wonderful neighbors that would cook for me and be there for us. He has taught me to trust in Him. He was always there with me throughout the year and provided countless blessings.
Year 2013 started out very rough but it is ending with a heart filled with appreciation for all the blessings that have been given in 2013.
