It has been a long time since I have posted last. A lot of things have happened since my last post on April 6th. I thought I should fill you in on some of my happenings.
April was filled with lots of surprises and I feel like I can actually write about it now. The week of April 15-21 started out pretty normal, until I learned that a friend of mine from college had a stroke and was in the hospital. Quite a shock when she was 23 years old. Crave started on Wednesday also. Crave is an event on campus that students from a fellowship I am a part of. The students read through the Bible starting on Wednesday night and read through till the end of the Bible till whenever they finish on Saturday. I turned 26 on April 19th 2012. Then I was given some hard news that my friend was called back to be with the Lord early Thursday morning, at the young age of 23. It was sad and it was hard to move on and celebrate my birth. I have learned this one thing is that God is merciful and He doesn't want us to be sad for long. I cried that night. That following Monday and Tuesday was her visitation and funeral. Not saying her death was a good thing, but it brought lots of nice surprises. I was able to reconnect with some friends from Kalamazoo. I was able to laugh and I even made some new friends. God always has a plan for everything.
The 15th also has a big significance in that God sent me a message which I was confused about because I thought it was supposed to be for a friend, and not for me. The message was simple that we were both being played by the devil and that we weren't meant to lose each other as friends. Little did I know how much those words were meant for me too.
Sometimes it clicks in an instance and its awesome to see the puzzle pieces form to view a picture. How God communicates with us...isn't it simply amazing?
So this was an interesting end to the month of April, but God always has the best in mind even if it means a bumpy road along the way.
