God is good!!

Actually, he's amazing. I would even say indescribably awesome but I guess that would be a contradiction. You get the idea, though. :)

And yes, I'm still alive!! Very much so, actually, although you may not have guessed from my lack of activity on here. I've done a fairly major re-shuffling of my imaginary priority list (it does exist, just not written down), and blogging was one of the first things to move down to the 'low priority' area. 

Another thing that got moved down the list was my rabbit breeding program. While I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and learning so much about biology and genetics (as well as the very small income generated from this hobby), I feel that my rabbits are distracting my from the things that I consider "more important" at this stage of my life. So after a lot of thought and prayer I finally decided to get out of rabbits completely. I've found a buyer for all the rabbits except 2, and have someone interested in those 2 as well. I actually feel surprisingly happy with my decision, and even now don't have any regrets at all about seeing all those years of hard work gone. At least I know their new owners, so I will be able to hear how they're going, and maybe even one day get them back again. 

It's hard to believe this year is nearly over already!! You'd think we'd used to this happening every year, but I'm sure each year goes faster than the one before. I guess now is a good time to reflect on the past year before we get thrown into yet another one! I wonder how many people can remember their New Year's Resolutions. Or how many have achieved them. I can't even remember mine (if I had any?) so I doubt that I achieved any of them.

I remember this time last year I was getting all stressed about how things were going to work out for this year; no matter how much I thought about it or tried to plan the year, I couldn't see how on earth things could possibly work out. (I'll spare you the details of specifically what I was worried about.) But now looking back I can see how this year God has bombarded me with opportunities far beyond anything I would ever have imagined or dreamed of!! Yet at the time I didn't seem to take much notice. Ironic how it's so easy to long for something so much that you don't recognize it when it's staring you in the face. I can't think of a single prayer that God hasn't answered this year - some of them in a far more wonderful way than I expected.

It's so encouraging to know all this, and to have that assurance that no matter what the future may hold, God will be right by our side giving us what He knows is best. I read a quote this morning, "God will never lead you where he cannot care for you." - W. W. Wiersbe.

What has He done for you this year?
