Welcome to Tears of Pearls! This is the first of weekly blogs to come every Tuesday. Today I wanted to share a reflection of recent events I've experienced. "Recent" will refer to the past few months.
4/30/24 - In Every Loss There is A Gain!
Seven years ago, I went through a loss that completely shifted my view on time and deepened my faith. I found myself facing grief, feeling depressed, afraid, and lost. In those dark times, I distanced myself from those who used to bring me comfort.
On one of my distancing days I talked with God. When He responded to me His voice was calm and clear. Although I could not see the resources to do what He was telling me I had to trust Him. I did not question His direction, I asked for more clarity and His protection for the distractions to come. Did you know that when God is preparing you for your blessing your problems are distractions to His plan?
This brief story brings me to the present. From this loss I deepened my faith in God and deepened my realtionship with my son. The distractions of committing myself to the agendas of another had to end to maintain the depth of my gains. An abundance of fruit beared for this tree and continues to grow to this present day! One of the fruits of this level of faith was the mindset of Define You!
