Overwhelmed

My journal entry from 7-15-15:
"I have not written in this thing in over a year and that is about when I gave up; slowly stopped seeking God and reading His Word. I became so lonely and tired, even angry at God. I have given up hope. I made my choice, I am empty, hopeless, alone, tired, dirty, confused and I blame God. What do I do now? What CAN I do now?"
My journal entry today (4-8-17):
"I'm overwhelmed at the goodness of the God! I left Dalhart as a declaration to the Lord that I am still willing...that I have no idea if it is even possible to get out of this pit I jumped into, but I was willing to leave...It felt so mechanical BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL! Change has been so gradual that it was hard to catch. There is still pain but He has continued a GOOD work in me. The despair has been filled with hope, hope like an old college friend you have not seen in years, but when you meet again it is as if we never parted. And like that friend, I'm embracing hope, catching up. God has been nothing but patient. When I thought He left, He was just waiting for ME to return. He was there the entire time. Such a gentleman, His grace, mercy, and FORGIVENESS are abundant in my life. Oh, to be intimate with Him again! I'm overwhelmed. Luke 7:47-'Therefore, I tell you her MANY sins have been forgiven, for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.' I have been forgiven much-SO MUCH! I'm overwhelmed!
