My Testimony

   God has done so many things in my life and I wouldn't be the woman I am today without the struggles I've been through. One huge thing that has changed my perspective on faith is when it was stretched 5 years ago. 5 years ago my dad almost lost his life to jaundice, a major liver disease. His liver was extremely close to shutting down because of his gallstones. This was very scary for a 13 year old to grasp.  My mom almost lost her life a year later to a major breathing problem. The carbon dioxide in her lungs would not leave, therefore oxygen would not come in.
    Worry became a huge part of my life when I realized that neither of my parents were as healthy as they should be. I kept on thinking "what will happen to them, I don't know how I can handle this." But God gave me a verse, Matthew 6:27 "Who of you by worrying can add a single moment to ones life?" This really hit me hard, I realized that worry will do absolutely nothing for there healing. All I can do is trust that God will heal my mom when he feels the time is right. God showed that I need to accept the answer that I am given and have faith that she will be okay in time. My mom is not healthy right now, but I know that God has a plan and I will trust that his will will be done.
    Sometimes it may feel that God has forsaken you when the struggles start to arise. But he loves you and me way too much to forsake us. He mourns when we mourn, he has been in the position that you and I have been in. God will always be there and he will never forsake you in your weaknesses.
