As the new year comes along, some people get stressed and overwhelmed with the holidays, and plannings, and changes, but little do people realize that these things we come across are blessings in disguise! 

2 Corinthians 9:8 – And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Sometimes we look at challenges and changes in a negative outlook, when we often should be thankful for these things that are happening. When going through the “negativity” of this, we should have a positive mindset to trust in Him as we are going through it, and look at it as a blessing. Sometimes this can be a difficult thing to look at, especially towards the end of the year. 

As followers of Him, we should reflect on the past, and be thankful and blessed for the things we have, learn and grow from them, and count our blessings!

This past year I have had many changes. At times I have been negative about things taking a turn, as I should have looked at these changes in a positive way, and looked at the brighter side of what God was actually doing in my life! 

With the new year, I encourage us all to look at these things as blessings in disguise, instead of in a negative way! God always has a plan for us all, even if sometimes it is unexpected and often takes us down a different path than what we planned. To trust in Him is what we need to do! Always reminisce on our “blessings in disguise” and be grateful for what God has in store for us with the new year!! 🤍🤍

You will find blessings, blessings in disguise when you walk in His divine will according to Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I give all credit to my mom, Rachelle Hardin, for reminding me of this daily 🤍
