it's been awhile yeah?
well, a lot of things have changed since the last time i updated. a lot of good memories and bad memories. all due to God's blessings.
i thank God for letting me end my junior year with all A's. i thank God that i got a 33 on my ACT. you know, these things are so easy to thank God for.
but do i seek God in the midst of hardships? it's not so easy to worship God when my grandmother has endured a surgery because of stomach cancer. it's not easy when my mom is also about to go through a surgery to remove her uterus.
when i received a call from my dad a few weeks ago telling me of grandma's cancer, i thought the world was ending. so i prayed for healing. i prayed for renewal of strength.
and thankfully, she is recovering. but it's really hard to eat ( i imagine ) without a stomach. she is constantly throwing up the last thing she has eaten. she complains of chest pains because the doctor had to open up her rib cage in order to get to her stomach. i have seen her scars. they run deep into my heart.
seeing her is a constant reminder of the vicissitudes of life. but it shouldn't be this way. i should know the outcome because i know the Lord. i know that he is in control of everything. i also know the power of prayer. it's about time i come down on my knees and pray.
i'm not seeking a plethora of sympathy. not at all. it's just easier for me to clear my head and understand everything that is happening around me if i write it down somewhere.
thanks for taking your time.
