I used to ask myself how I would react if I found out that someone close to me had cancer. How would I react if I discovered that I had cancer? Two months ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer. We were told that he had four months to live. Hearing this news was heartbreaking for everyone involved. I watched him lose hope. I watched my grandmother lose hope. I watched my entire family lose hope. Why can’t they just have faith? Why is everyone accepting it so soon without having any hope in God’s healing power? I asked myself these questions everyday. My grandparents were always in church and always served the Lord. He has healed them both from horrible illnesses that should have killed them. They are truly walking miracles. What could I do to help them build their faith back up? Through this experience, I’ve learned that it’s so easy to ask God why this happened to you, or why it happened to your family. It’s easy to think that he wasn’t there for you and that he let this happen as punishment. I challenge you with this question: How could there be miracles and testimonies of healing if no one was sick to begin with? It takes your love and helping hands to build them back up. You have to be supportive of them. Be the positive person that they can’t be just yet. Be the light that shows them the way back to their faith. Don’t let sadness creep into your time together and try to fill every moment with joy and love. When you pray for healing, you have to see your request as it’s already done. Your faith has to be at it’s absolute strongest. Believe and trust in our God, because he does miraculous things every single day.
My first post
Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog. If you’re wondering who I am, I won’t give you much, because I am no one but loved by Christ. Without Him, I am nothing. I will start by giving you a little background on my life, so you can get an idea of my beliefs and where I come from. When I was one year old, my parents divorced. As bad as this sounds, it has actually turned out to be pretty great. I have an amazing step family with a step dad who cares about me and is proud of me, and three amazing brothers who I love more than anything. My father never remarried, but he is happy and we get to spend a lot of time together. I work in a little grocery store in the small town I grew up in and I couldn’t be happier. I have a loving church family who always picks me up when I’m down, and accepts me along with all of my flaws. I attend a small church within the Assemblies of God, and it’s the same church that I grew up in. I’m currently a Freshman in college who hasn’t decided on a major and who’s just trying to get her life straightened out. I hope to post about three times a week, if possible. I would love to see comments and opinions on any of my posts. My hope for this blog is that some of my experiences and opinions help other teens out there who are struggling to find their place in the world, while continuously working to strengthen their faith.
