He Lifted me from the Pit
Loof die Heer met blye galme
O my siel daar's ryke stof.
Sal solank ek leef my psalmvrolik toewei aan Sy lof
en Hom wat Sy guns my bied,
altyd groot maak in my lied.
Bless the Lord, oh my soul & all that is within me less His holy Name.

2017&8 tried to take me out but God has redeemed my soul from the pit of anxiety & depression. I live to see another birthday & new opportunities to fulfill God's purpose for my pain. This is my year of reset, upgrade & transformation. For 48 years I've been stuck in my own pain & insecurities but 2019 will be my year of breakthrough & spiritual growth. I'm backed by a God who loved me so much that He gave His Son to die on the cross that I may live. Thank you Jesus for restoring the joy of my salvation & letting me wake up with a song on my heart again.
Apparently I coped well with everyone singing happy birthday to me at Chorus on Tuesday.
Oh boy, if only they knew how hard I had to fight back the tears. The last 2 weeks have been hard. My birthday has been surrounded by so much pain over the years that it's been the hardest time to cope with. I'm grateful that the Lord's been turning things around for me. Loads of digging up buried issues in order to finally face & deal with them. There's pain in healing but at least I'm starting to see the purpose in my pain. Will be facing my giants 1 at a time this year & trusting for complete recovery & restoration this year.
