God's Goodness.

As you think about this past year how have you grown? What experiences has God used in this past year to take you to a new place?
 
Several weeks ago at our small group this question was raised.
While it was fairly difficult for most people to remember all that has taken place over the past year and relate it one area they have grown or a new place they have been taken to - that was not the case with me. I am on a constant journey with God. Often times this journey takes a new form on a daily basis; however, over the past year I can look back and know for sure what God has been teaching and showing me through all of my experiences.
While God has constantly been revealing his faithfulness to me His goodness is what has been so abundant over the past 12 months.

Goodness
1. The state of quality of being good.
2. moral excellence, virtue.
3. kindly feeling; kindness; generosity
4. the best part of anything; essence; strength.
 
God is gracious and generous. He has provide strength time and time again. He has provided the best part of everything I have and everything I am. I am so thankful that I can look back over the past year and know God was there in each moment. I am thankful that even in the moments when He is silent He is working out a great plan for my life. And I thankful that I have a loving God who has rescued me.
Although I wouldn't want to necessary relive the past year I am grateful for the ways God has revealed himself to me time and time again.
