Hey everyone,
Well, I stole this idea to blog off of Brittany, I thought it would be cool to share what God has been teaching me with everyone! As most people know I was apart of our schools play this past few months. Well that was quite a challenge, physically, emotionally and financially. Although I really enjoyed being apart of something important and something that was very rewarding, I really struggled. Two weeks looking toward the show I was not sure I could do it. I was extremely tired. (it's college everyone is tired, haha). I had to drive an 1 1/2 every night after practice, it was just alot. Luckily the week of the play I had a cast member let me stay at her house to cut down on the expenses and the time, but it was still a challenge. we were getting out of practice really late, the practices were long, but I had a blast at them. but as the week went on, I had alot of things change. my car was towed off of the school campus because I left it there to long, I did not know that i was not supposed to do that. this all happened on the first day of the opening show. I was not in a good mood at all. but according to our director the show must go on! sounds like something out of high school musical!, anyway, I should stay on topic. after the show that night I went back to my friends house and just cried myself to sleep. I had no car, a ton of homework, and my family was not in my reach. I wanted to be home so bad. I wanted to hug my mom and not let go. she always knows how to make everything seem so much better. that next day, my mom called and I met up with the dean of students and this really scary police officer to go get my car back for FREE!! my mom (the pit bull) as we call her at home, took care of it! shes so awesome!! I got my car back and the first thing I did was drive home. as soon as I got home, I hugged my mom like it was the first time I have ever hugged in my life. I missed my family so much.Sometimes it feels like our family is dysfunctional, and like we don't appreciate each other as much as we should, but that Thursday night I opened my Bible as I do everyday!..OK OK you got me....not everyday! but I try too!..I read a verse out of 1peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you....and the Jeremy camp song healing hand of God, that states "Cast all your cares on Him,
For He cares for you.
He's near to the broken and confused.
By His stripes,
Our spirit is renewed.
So enter in the joy prepared for you"
I was not sure I was going to be able to do it. but when I got to see my family on Friday and this song, I knew that God was there. I should have gone to him from the beginning. I left him out of my day, my week. I never realized how important my family is to me until I could not get to them. sure we argue,disagree, but isn't that what makes family stronger? I love my family to death and I received a deeper level of love and support for them!! they are my strong tower right next to God that is. my performance that next night and the shows after got so much better!! I had no anxiety, I had a blast!! I went to the word of life Superbowl that Friday night after my show with the teens from our church and had a blast!!! I left everything in the hands of God and he took care of it! God is so good, God is so good, he's so good to me! He answers prayers, he answers prayers, hes so good to me!!! its so true!! God is incredible!!! I really challenge you to look at your family and thank God for them cause they could be gone in a minute! your family is important! there worth the fight! I sure know mine are!
well, that's it for this week!
BECAUSE OF JESUS WE HAVE HOPE!!
