Right now we are back in the States for our biannual trip. I can honestly say that this trip has stretched me farther than any other trip. My emotions have been tested as well as my friendships and my faith. I'll go through everything so that you know what I mean.
Emotions- my grandfather passed away in June. I was angry. I asked the Lord to let me see Papa one more time before he went to heaven, but I never did. The timing of his passing was really bad. I was at camp and we missed several fun events, because we needed to comfort and stay with her a few days my grandma. I was sad, because he was such a beautiful man. The only hope I had was knowing that Papa was indeed a Christian and I would see him again. I was comforted by friends and family and most of all my Savior because He cares so deeply about me.
Friendships- One of my friendships was tested. I wondered if a life-long friendship was really worth going through all this hurt and work for. But once I talked to this person normally, I realized that I refuse to throw away something very precious than gold to me.
Faith- I had been believing in God for a new laptop for school. It looked like I wasn't getting one for a while. However, it came whenever I was least expecting it. And guess what I'm writing this post on right now? An answered prayer.
I thank God for all the tremendous things that He has blessed me with. These are the end times and I am so glad I'm on the Lord's side not only for His blessings but because He sent His precious Son to die for me- a little Tennessean girl who messes up every single day.
I'll end this post with a verse-
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord, your God will be with you wherever you go."
God Bless-
Emma
