Immanuel!!!

Guess who got a summons from the police last Thursday?

Guess which girl single-handedly held up traffic at 12.15am (that's Sunday night-Monday morning to you!) Christmas morning?

Guess who then went into a panic and called up her friends to help her out?

Guess who went back home that same night, got into the shower and found a huge kick-ass spider scuttling out from behind the heater while she was in an indecent state?!

Yes. Moi. Little old me.

It has been such an eventful Christmas. So many 'bad' things happening, all at once. The devil must've had fun throwing his punches at me continually.

But you know what? My God is good.

Romans 8:28 - In all things God works for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength

I felt so wretched and broken that Christmas morning, so after my shower I just cried out to God. I opened my Bible - immediately God spoke to me.

Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Immanuel. God With Us.

Such a wonderful promise kept by God! He was with me when my car broke down, He was with me when the spider made its appearance.

He was with me, not to judge or condemn, but to help me bear my burden!

So, yes, despite all the nerve-wracking situations I was put through, I can still proudly say IT WAS AN AMAZING CHRISTMAS!!! :)
