Merry Christmas y’all! Hope you’re having a wonderful time celebrating Christ’s birth!
I’m back again writing about some of my experiences in this year, before this 2016 ends. As you remember, In August 29th I wrote about my spiritual struggles in my birthday, now I’m here writing about what happened after that moment where I felt so bad and God made me reflect about all that.
When all that feeling ceased, God comforted me, cleaned my tears, hugged me and recalled me how much He loves me. It was about 1 or 2 am when my eyes couldn’t bear one more tear and a tremendous peace came over me, a smile framed my face, I couldn’t understand what was happening. I started crying and laughing! Such a strange mix of emotions!
After I realized why I was feeling so terrible and ask God to forgive me because of so childish attitude, I laid at my bed thinking in how much I need Him, that God is the one and only who can fill completely and overflow my heart. I started to worship Him. Now my tears weren’t salty water drops of sadness but of joy. I couldn’t stop laughing, singing. What a strange way to start a day, laying at my bed singing…
God is good all the time, and all the time God is good,
God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good ,all the time…
After God comforted me with His Word while I recalled some verses, and gave me such a peace that I couldn’t continue crying, and humbled me to repent for my sinful attitude, and gave me joy to worship Him again, I could recall the moments, that when I was experiencing them, weren’t funny, but at 2 am were. I remembered that when I opened my Facebook account, the first thing that appeared was this box,
Jajaja, it was hard to swallow when I first saw this, but after God comforted me, time later, it was so funny! Wow! Mark Zuckerberg is a hard guy, if I didn’t know Jesus and read this, I wouldn’t be telling the story right now, and I’d be hanging on a tree.
Then when I received my ID, I saw my picture, and agreed with that strange kind of curse in everybody’s ID picture. No one looks beautiful or handsome at that picture, not even the «photogenic ones” (there are some exceptions). I’m usually called a photogenic girl, so I had some hope to be an exception to this curse.
…By my side, when I was turning on my papers for issuing my ID, was an amazingly pretty girl, she was a tall, thin, pale skin, brown and curly hair, green-eyed girl, she looked just as one of my little sister’s dolls, I thought she was going to look stunning at her ID picture, and while I was walking out of the office, sad about my horrible picture, I found her, talking with her mom about her ID, and when I approached to her to ask how was she going, she laughed, and showed me her ID card…She didn’t look as pretty as she was, jajaja, so I felt now that I had looked at her picture, confident enough to show mine, and both laughed. Is so strange that no one looks good at that picture, and is something worldwide happening.
In conclusion, my eighteenth birthday was like a rollercoaster ride, with ups and downs. It started sad, and ended joyful, and all because MY GOD IS SOOO GOOD!
I’M SO HAPPY I HAVE A GOD WHO UNDERSTAND ME, AND IS AN AMAZING DAD! LETS REJOICE BECAUSE OUR GOD IS A SUPERWONDERFULISTICALLYAMIZING GOD!
Have a good night, and remember we can count on God every day and every time, no matter what.
