So Thankful, Year 7!

In May, I celebrated 7 years of blogging on Drawing Closer to Christ! Thank you for choosing to be part of Drawing Closer to Christ. I appreciate you taking time to read what I write and share your thoughts.

Each time you like, comment or share my posts it encourages me to keep going and growing. And it is my prayer that when you visit this blog, you are encouraged too.

We all know trusting Jesus and walking by faith is a learning process. But His love and faithfulness are never ending. He has promised to supply our needs. And He is pleased when we wake up every morning and still choose Him.

As the hymn says, “Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.” Keep choosing to trust Him, even when it’s hard. Your perseverance in commitment to Jesus is not in vain. Remember, He rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

Well, it’s that time of year, where I take a blogging break. I plan to return sometime in September. But before I break, I wanted to leave you with these words from Ecclesiastes chapter 3, reminding us to trust God with the seasons of our lives.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 NIV

A Time for Everything

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What do workers gain from their toil?

10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Friends, God makes everything beautiful in its time. Although some seasons are more difficult than others, God remains the same. He understands your struggles. May He be your anchor no matter what you are facing. Remember that He always sees you and hears you. He has a perfect timing for everything in your life.

Blessings, and Happy July!
