The Roller Coaster of Life

Sorry about how long it has been since my last post. I have been busy this past month, and have learned quite a lot. When I left at the beginning of this month, I departed for a church camp. Before departing, my mood was one of confusion and of being unsure of the future. But at camp I really realized that God knows what will happen in the future and He will always be there for me.

Everyone listen! God does not let us know what will happen too far into the future because if we knew we might try to change it. By leading us blindly, we can let less human nature interfere with God's amazing plans. God put me on a roller coaster a few months ago and has been keeping me on it, in the dark, and throwing me in loops. I was unsure of what would come next. I never knew if I would be upset, ornery, or oddly joyous. But now I have seen that those loops made me appreciate the good times that have come. I may be stretched to the max right now, but God is making me appreciate those little moments, teaching me to stop and smell the flowers, and not take anything for granted. If we never experienced negative things, we would not understand the good things as much as we do when we know the bad. This is all part of God's plan. God's plan for you is different than his plan for me, and that is the beauty of it all. No one is the same, so God uses us in different ways. He has to get us to come to Him in a different way. For me, he has been wearing me down and crippling me so that he must be my crutch and my resting place. This is really showing me that I always need God. For some people, he might be performing miracles-small or big-to get your attention, or just letting you glide along for a short time.

I do not know what is going on in your personal life, but I do know that God will provide for you, no matter what. "Do not let others look down upon you because you are young"-Jesus
