You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness
(Psalm 30:11-12).
This Bible verse pretty much sums up my past year.
Earlier on this year, I was very sick and was sent home to recover. At first I was not happy, but little did I know that God used my sickness to renew my health and spirit.
-I rediscovered the love of family and friends. It was so refreshing specially after living years on my own.
-I regained my happiness, health and confidence.
-I had deep realizations on humanity and love.
-I was accepted into the International Teacher Education Module in SFU and got to spend 2 amazing months in Oaxaca.
-And now I get to spend my 25th birthday with my favourite family ever. The Johnsons, a missionary couple I met back in El Salvador, played an important role during my teenage years. They continue to be my inspiration and role models.
The Lord has indeed turned my mourning into dancing.
I am infinitely thankful for all His love and grace this year. And I believe that there are greater things to come. He is faithful and true.
