Tonight as I heard heart-breaking news all I wanted to do was yell. Death this week has been very visable to me, as my sister if still alive would have been 17, another close friend death's anniversary was this week and now hearing of another student's passing. But as I was making scarves...I was reminded of my teachings on Wednesday night. It is like that night that God left a note in my mailbox on Wednesday night as I was teaching but never knew I would reep/remember His words.
This summer, we are studying Esther in the Girls' ministry at First West. This past Wednesday night we got thru chapter 3 of Esther where Mordecai's life changed and even more than that so did Esther's. They never got the choice to choose that day that their lives would change. Just like the day in my life when I heard of Emily's death, Jason's death, and now this one. Esther had to choose to trust God knew what He was doing when she didn't understand and was confused.
So at this time in my life once again...I don't understand Why. I don't understand now. I don't understand and am quite confused I have to choose, just like Esther, to believe. to trust. to love. Most of all go with HIM.
So to all who are reading this...God has a plan we can't see now...but let's not lose the sight of the forrest because of the trees in front of us.
