I'm 17 years old and I should be living The Best Years of My Life. So help me God, I pray not. High school sucks. My prom is 3 weeks away and I haven't even looked for a dress. I love my life, don't get me wrong, but at times I find myself searching for more. Which is good, right? I mean as Americans we are constantly trying to upgrade EVERYTHING we have but I think God distinctively made me an American so I wouldn't find comfort in my walk with Him. You should never be comfortable with where you are, God is constantly trying to mold us.
I've seen, lately, the oppritunities God has set before me to grow and become more like Him. You learn something new everyday but if you're with God you should be learning plenty more! He has something to show us in every situation. I think we forget that. I think we forget that God placed us at that stoplight when we're running late to test our patience. We forget why God has us sit down with our mothers and show them how to use technology- service.
A good friend of mine is in ICU trying to recover from a seizure she had last night, we know little but she is heavily sedated. My prayers are with her family but my heart knows that God is with them and whatever happens is His will. My friend's father is not saved and this could be a great oppritunity for him to see what this whole God guy is all about. God's faithfulness is going to shine through this situation whether we like it or not. I think we lose sight of that.
My cousin passed away last month and at the funeral they reminded us that God judges you at the end of your life. I think we forget about that. I think we lose sight of the fact that, at this moment, we're missing oppritunities to complete God's will. If we don't act upon it there are 6,911,341,249 other people in the world God is more than willing to ask.
So don't forget what we're here for. I'm so over this, but maybe that means I need to be stretching for more? Or maybe I'm still here because God has more things in store for me I haven't noticed yet. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
