summer over?!

God will give, and God will take.
we have pain in the world because it is an earthly place, and lessons are formed from them. we learn and then we forget, we relearn and then the cycle continues.
do we ever remember our mistakes? listen to our subconscious?
do we let go the unnecessary baggage and throw out to God's outstretched arms? the answer is yes. but do. we. do it? have the strength to give it all up? even the best things that happened to us?
God is great.
i may not like my situation, and i might not like the consequences, but somehow, for some reason, there's order in all this. an order of chaos. perfect chaos, spinning in God's own way.
the only way we can completely become wholly closer to God is to be at our weakest point, on our knees broken in half and a million more pieces. because He's down there with arms outstretched wanting us. He loves us no matter what we do or who we are. ready to gives us that hug of a lifetime and take us home.
2 corinthians 12:9-10 reads: 'but He said to me, "my grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." therefore, i will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. so because of Christ, i am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. for when i am weak, i am strong.'

i'm so blessed to have been given these wonderfully God-fearing friends this summer. this has been a very interesting summer with all the unusual trials and tribulations.. but i couldn't ask for another summer because i had so much happen that i couldn't ask to have taken away. everything happens for a reason. you become stronger by the trials that happen.
i've become a stronger christian and i've been searching out. for God. reading my bible. ask and you shall receive.


now i'm sad because fall has already arrived and we barely had an summer hahaha
