"And we know that all things work together for good..."

I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile, but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. In the past 7 months since my last post, I’ve gone through so many different trials. Just to name a few....one of my best friends was diagnosed with cancer, my family’s house burned down, and just recently a little boy who was going to be in my Kindergarten class this school year died in a car accident. Through it all, God has shown me how great He is, and how small my trials are in comparison with the mightiness of His hands.

Trials have a way of bringing forth blessings. My friend had surgery and is now cancer free, my family is going to get a brand new house built for them, and during the little boy’s funeral, the church was packed and over 60 people accepted Christ as their Savior. The Lord has taught me the importance of trusting Him with everything. After all, He is in control of all things and knows what's absolutely best for my life and the lives of the people I love the most.
