The year 2018 was passing, life had changed all the plans I had structured. Things seemed to go the other way around, I did not understand the reason for the situation I was going through, I compared myself with other people, who were having many achievements and I saw myself as a failed person, because I was starting that year without a job and with a failed love relationship, plus other situations such as serious health problems of loved ones and additional, my vehicle was ruined. All this led me to a host of negative feelings and defeat, I thought I couldn’t get ahead, that I had lost everything I had worked for. I did not understand that I was beginning a process in which God would totally change my life, deal with me, make me go through fire to mold me and be a new person according to his purpose in me, because I belong to him and live for him. The loneliness was one of my greatest tests, with which I fought and battled day after day, the enemy had reached the bottom of my heart and attacked me with feelings that I had not felt before, I did not like anything, I was depressed.
When I got involved with Líon, I was able to understand God, through the Pastor. I understood that all this had a purpose, life does not change us just for the sake of it, everything has a good reason for those of us who love God.
«And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,» (Romans 8:28 NET)
It has been a long process, where I doubted many times what God had spoken to my life, where he told me that the end of these situations would come, where I would finally understand that He had made me go through all that, for a purpose, by which he was making me a different person with a new heart, with the happiness that only He gives to my life, with the family that He was giving me (LÍON) and that nothing was out of His power and control.
I made the decision to believe in Him, to fill my heart and mind with faith. I will not lie to you, I kept doubting, I had moments of uncertainty, moments where I could no longer be a positive person, I walked and walked following the word that He had given, but inside I doubted. Surrounding myself with people of God that He used to fill my life with His Holy Spirit, was something decisive in this process, being intentional in order to understand why I was living what I was living and learn to be a grateful person for what I was living, changed my perspective. I stopped wishing that the process was over, I was just grateful because it was a way in which God made me feel important to Him.
With the passing of time, God made a way, he gradually changed my situation, he shaped and guided me according to his will (NOT MINE), something that was very difficult for me to understand, but it was really worth it. Today I do not see that time as lost, but as something important in my life because it was a before and after, it was a turning point to understand that God continued to love me and take care of me at every moment.
From that 2018 to date I can say that many things have changed. Now I can see work, economic results, my life has changed. God has fulfilled each one of his promises and I know that he will continue to fulfill them, new projects have begun, and He has restored each one of the areas where the enemy had worked . He has given me back more than I had lost, He has given me a new start and I know it is only the beginning of something great.
Also, God has blessed me with a new partner, where I have been able to confirm once again, that the process was something necessary to be able to move forward and to be a person according to His heart and will.
