There is another part to my testimony about Christ that I failed to mention in the last blog. This was definitely a wake up call for me and it ensured my faith.
A few months ago, I was going through a period of time where I questioned everything. My interests, my personality, my aspirations, my life, and finally, I began questioning my belief in God. It was a very troubling time for me. I was going through so much at the time that I felt that my God had left me. I felt so alone and so afraid.
I was, unfortunately, in this rut for a few weeks. My church choir, that I'm involved in, was rehearsing for our outreach at Race for the Cure. So, naturally, we were singing inspiring songs of praise and worship. One song stuck out to me the most. It talks about how "He's an on-time God." It also says that "He may not come when you want Him, but He'll be there right on time." That was just the first instance of reassurance.
The next one blew my mind. It was like God Himself was shaking me and asking why I was questioning Him.
I was just on the internet one night, like I always am, and I happened to be on facebook. I was also talking to Evan at the time about everything that had been going on in my life. I refreshed my facebook home page. What I saw still amazes me today.
A girl, named Mabry, who is about my age that goes to my church had posted a new status on her facebook page. I thought the funny thing was that I didn't ever talk to this girl. In my News Feed, I saw this exact phrase, "My precious, precious child I love you and i would never, never leave you during times of trial and suffering."
That statement affected me so immensely that I copied it and pasted it in a word document to save it forever. It truly was God telling me that He is there through Mabry. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes.
After that night, I've handled my tough times a lot better. I know now for sure that God is always with me no matter the circumstances. I've spent more time at Crossroads. I'm there Sunday mornings, Mondays after school, and Thursday evenings. It seems that I can't get enough!
God excites me so much and I'm always waiting for the next big surprise He has in store for me!
