Rollercoasters
This is something that actually spoke to me the morning before creating this blog. I’ve been witnessing from others, and even myself, the sort of struggle we go to just to receive something. But you know what I’ve been learning? It’s that these “struggles” we go to, are all provided for the benefit of our future. Whether it’s to improve us, or others, our Mighty God allows our difficulties to enrich us. Some people get things handed the easy way to them. Since I’ve been on this rollercoaster ride with paying my upcoming college funds, there was a time where I would see other’s financial awards and because of the school the chose and the aid they received, some students actually got the blessing of getting to go to school for free. I would compare it to my situation, and wow would I get so upset and discouraged. I’ve still been riding this rollercoaster, but you know what? I’m glad I still am. I’ve been learning that sometimes we have to go through a rollercoaster obstacle to get to the final destination. But what I just realized is, I along with many others, we probably go through those trial and error situations to learn. To spiritual boost our muscles. To learn and grow He ignites us with tasks that are simple in His eyes. He wants us to be faithful. To trust Him. To love Him. That’s all He asks for. I started reading the Bible. And I mean REALLY reading the Bible starting from the beginning. ((I’m almost done with Genesis and I’m so happy)) Just the other day I read the story of Abraham being called upon by God to go to the mountains with his son to, little did he know, KILL HIS OWN SON. Abraham was about to do it without any doubts, and right when he was close enough to do so, God brought an angel to tell Abraham not to do it. Abraham’s humble trust and faith on God is so powerful. Our God is the amazing God that ends up saying “Okay, you trusted me faithfully and un-doubtfully, here’s your blessing!” So awesome. God is so awesome. I may be on this rollercoaster still with my college funds, but hey, at least I’m growing on faith and trust little by little. Your will, not mine God.
