What I’m learning
I got an unexpected gift this Christmas. It was wrapped so well. It was so pretty. I didn’t want to open it. I still have the ribbon. Christmas has been beautiful, yet tested my mettle. God is good. Even when I’m not. All the pretty exterior can’t mask inner turmoil. I’ve been in a battle with my own body and mind. And my goal for the New Year is a consistent perseverance.
God never stops refining us. Never lets off the gas. He is the driver of my car, not me.
Your will not mine is the hardest lesson I constantly relearn even if I don’t want to. Isn’t that how He works.

Lessons usually come at a price. It is part of the human nature.
