So this week has been, stressful, eventful, all in all a typical college-student kinda week. Or so I thought.
I reconnected with a friend that I haven't been able to talk with for a while, and I got to spend some more time with someone who I've been getting a lot closer to.
During all of this, I learned a lot during this week than I have in a long time.
1. I learned about connections. How we might think that we are the only ones who might be feeling something, but it's not true. We are all connected someway somehow, and because of that we all have feelings that resemble one another. Tres important to know! :D
2. I learned about patience. How when you really want something and you pray for it for a long time, and you start to doubt, that small amount of faith that you have in God comes through. P.s. I learned that from a friend, you know who you are! ;)
3. I learned about forgiveness. I tell God all the time that I will fix my ways, that I will become a better person but I always find myself messing up and falling on my knees again in shame, but you know what? God is forgiving. He will take us back as many times as we need forgiveness. Do we deserve it? No. But He loves us way too much to let us go that easily. It's funny how hard it is for us to forgive someone over something insanely stupid, but it takes God less than a heartbeat to just forget what we did to Him. And I never realized that before. I also felt forgiveness, it's like this load off of your chest. Now, I didn't do anything really bad, don't get me wrong. But just the small things that you think may not matter can seem pretty big to God, and it's always important to show Jesus that and to admit that what you did was wrong, that it was disobedient to Him, but you know what? All He wants is for you to be honest with Him, it's not like He doesn't know what you did was wrong, He just wants you to tell Him for yourself. That's it. And then once you do, POOF it's vanished.
4. This is the biggest thing. So today my mom found this Indian pastor talking about this women's testimony, Betty Baxter, about how she was once a cripple and Jesus Himself came down and healed her. I was like wha?? So we found the video on youtube and decided to watch it..
OHH EEMMM GEEE! It was AMAZING! So this young girl (young at this time) was a cripple, and I mean like seriously crippled. She was just like sticks glued together by a three year old. She was taken to all sorts of doctors to find some way to fix her but they all said there was no hope and that she was going to die anyway, so no point in trying. But her mother, this amazing mother of hers, told Betty that she had found the GREATEST doctor ever and it was JESUS.
So her testimony (which I will attach below :D ) is about how she would pray to Jesus and would set aside a chair for Him to sit and talk to her. And she would say, please come and heal me, why won't you heal me? And Jesus would say, don't worry I'm going to heal you. And one day when she was really sick He gave her a date and time when He would come and heal her, and HE DID! He actually came at that exact time and healed her, and she said you could hear her bones breaking and coming back together and she could feel her organs moving! KLASDJFLSKJF HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! But you have to watch the whole thing!
Honestly, this week, I've been tested and I've been spoken to by God. Makes me so happy to know that He loves me and trusts me, and is always ready to catch me no matter what. And you know, He loves YOU, and He trusts YOU, and he is always ready to catch YOU, no matter what.
PLEASE DO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xzUoGgynKA
With a Savior like that, how can I stop smiling?! :D
