When one focuses all her attention on Christ, every blessing is a magnificent surprise. I can testify to this very directly.

Everything has changed since last year. When I think about this, I am completely blown away. Last December, I was discontent, battered, used, frail, and searching. I sludged through my Savior's victory. This December, however, I am fully content with every circumstance, dignified, protected, valiant, and overfilled. I am noticing that as I give all my attention to Christ, the side blessings of life are extremely sweet, everything rich, and jarringly wonderful.

I do not deserve these things.

For the first time ever, my identity in Christ is being validated, my purity is being protected, my dignity is being honored, and my heart is being treasured. I've never so consistently felt like a lady...It is shocking. It catches me off guard. I am experiencing everything that Christ has done for so long in human form.

Wow.

Surprise!

It's crazy how after you give up your plans and allow God to read you His story for your life how the blessings increase magnificently...I did not write this into my story. I did not plan for it to go this way.

Lord, I trust You with the pen. Only You could make this story even better... Lord, You are surprising me almost continually! Thank You, thank You, thank You.
