Backward & Forward

Looks like yesterday the year have started, but have come to the end of the year2011. Looking back the year, its amazing to see how Lord has lead me the through out the year. There were times when I thought that's the end and there is no way to go, but He made ways and opened the doors which I cannot imagine. He blessed me in many areas of my life and took me to places for which I really don't deserve. He helped me to accomplish many things which is beyond my reach, beyond my abilities just to experience there is nothing impossible through HIM. He helped me to learn many things through failures, sorrow and pain rather than through success and happiness. There were times I thought who would be there to help, but as we read in the scriptures "My help comes from the Lord", He helped in ways I really can't imagine or think. I really don’t have words to explain, He would bring people at the right time to meet the need. How great His ways are, no one can understand the way He Leads.
As we read in Isaiah 55: 8-9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways  and my thoughts than your thoughts.
He didn't give all I wanted, but He provided ALL I needed. During the last year there were Lots of success, failures, ups & down, joy, sorrow, love, hate, fights, betrayals, abundance, adversity....Through all these phase I could only see Lord carrying me through this year.
Looking Backward I could only say THANK YOU LORD for all your Blessings and for all you have done!!

Starting the New Year 2012, with new hopes and expectations with Lots of dreams. Not knowing what it unfolds in the coming days, but I know only one thing My God is sufficient to provide all my needs. It might not be the way I wanted, not the path I wanted to take but He is going to the Lead me in His Unique way according to His will.
As we read in Isaiah 48:17 and Isaiah 30:21 He will teach us what is best for us and directs us in the way we should go.
Isaiah 48:17
This is what the Lord says- your Redeemer, the Holy one of Israel: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, This is the say; walk in it."

I like this quote very much "I don't know the way that I take, but well do I know my Guide". Its very easy and comfortable when we know where we are heading. It's quite confusing, with lot of questions and doubts when we really don't know the way to go and what to do next in our life’s. Even though I have experienced His blessings and His guidance in the past I have lost my faith many times looking at my situation and circumstances. Forgive me lord for my lack of faith, increase the faith and help to see and experience your guidance in a very special way. Help me to experience your guidance in ways I have never experienced before and to see all that at you have planned for me in the years to come.
Looking forward, Holding on His promises and waiting in His presence to see Gods Leading in a very special way in all the areas of my life than before.
