Dear friends, strangers, and even quiet stalkers who check back in on my blog every so often,
Some might have noticed that this blog went private a while ago. And I've not written anything for a long time either. The past 18 months have been a difficult journey for me. It has been one of struggle, hurt and grief.
So through that difficult times, I wrote as a personal journal, and the rawness and unintelligible words that had flowed through were messy and difficult to understand. Writings that I cannot bring myself to share.
Yet, in those difficulties, there is a constant light and grace shown to me. So much that I am and can be thankful for, even in dark times.
I am thankful for warm fellowship, people who allowed me to quietly be a part of their family, however chaotic or messy it is.
I am thankful for a job that I enjoy, for the opportunities given to me.
I am thankful for the church, God's people who had been so kind and loving.
And most importantly, I am thankful for God's unending grace. Because in the darkness, when things are hard and I can't find my way out, and I can't see anything to be grateful for, I am reminded of Christ's finished work on the Cross, for my sake. That while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me. ( Romans 5:8). And because of that, I have hope in the darkness. I have eternal and everlasting security in Christ, the one who commands the waves to be still.
But tough times are growth times, and these times are sanctifying my faith, to the glory of God.
Hannah
