me!!!
I believe that God is working in amazing yet mysterious ways. I believe we are surrounded with unseen possibilities. He gives us opportunities, things we would have never imagined. I also believe that God allows us to be apart of something greater, and a lot of the time we have no idea.
One of these times for me was just recently. At the end of this summer I had a very life-changing event take place in my life, my grandfather passed away. It was unexpected and was a very difficult time already in my life. I think it is one of those things you really can't understand until you experience. For a while I questioned God and was searching for reasons why He would allow such a horrible thing to happen to my family.
Through everything, the only good I could see was the resolution of the issues among my family, and I got closer than ever to my cousin, but I felt like there was something. I was begging God to bring something out of the huge misfortune that fell upon me. It wasn't until seven months later He resealed His greatness.
I went on a mission trip with my school to Costa Rica. We had a small group of 20, including adults. One morning during devotions I found out that one of the girls on my team was struggling with the fact that her family was making final decisions about her grandpa that was dying in the hospital. Prior to the trip I had no idea. A few mornings later, she was crying during devotions. She got up and left, and I felt God telling me to go. I had the most incredible opportunity to empathize with her, but at the same time I could encourage her and relate in a way no one else could. I felt her pain and I knew what to say or when to listen.
my costa rica team COSTA RICA!!
God used me and my experience to lift up and encourage my friend who was struggling.I also want to share with you something even more amazing. I wasn't even supposed to be on the trip at all. Two people dropped out a week before the trip, and our team leader asked me if I wanted to go. I went and experienced one of the most amazing things of my life. God didn't have to use me. He didn't h ave to show me anything good that came out of my suffering. We need to remember that it is a blessing to see the reaping of the harvest or the impact you have made. God isn't obligated to do that for us. We just have to remember that we may never know the impact we have made or what God has done through us, and we have to be ok with that.
