I can’t even recall the last time I posted on here. It’s sad that it has been that long, but I have been consumed with school and work. Thankfully, I have finished my second year of college and blessed to have made so many amazing friends along the way. This year has been a true testament that as long as I keep my faith planted in God and His word, the word impossible shouldn’t be verbalized or cross my mind. Why? Because through Christ, everything is possible. It may not be on my time, but it will happen. It may not go as I plan, but He has a plan. My trust in Him may fluctuate, but His love is constant.
Well, I don’t even know where to begin this little rant. So many things have happened this past year that have reminded me how grateful I am that I have Christ in my life. People I have grown up with have passed away, been in fatal accidents, or committed suicide. Yet, I have the audacity to complain that my life isn’t good enough. I have life and so far, that is perfectly fine with me. What makes it better is that my life revolves around Christ.
Two weeks ago, my sister had a beautiful baby girl. Since I was in the midst of taking my finals for school, I was unable to make it home. However, the pictures that were sent to me served as a reminder. A reminder of how precious and fragile life is. When I finished with school, I flew home for the summer and got to hold my baby niece. Looking at her brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t help but smile the first time she looked at me and smiled. It’s mind blowing to know that while I’m holding this baby, God has already set her life into place. He knows every move she’s going to make before it happens because He.Is.God.
I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do this summer but what I had planned, fell apart. I know that whatever I choose to do, God will use me. I don’t know how or where, but I’m certain that He will.
Just remember that God always has a plan. The moment we allow doubt to cultivate in our mind, that’s when the enemy chooses to attack. We have to keep believing in Christ.
