"You are not an accident."
Its day 2 of 40 and as all treks, it always starts out easy...wish it was going to be like this for the next 38 days but God will always put hardship infront of you to mould you to his purposes.
Day 2 really makes me remember things i heard so many times, but at times, forgot;
1) God is always there, the only thing is that he sometimes chooses to be silent.
2) God never creates pain and hardship, he only allows them to happen so that you can grow.
3) God means for everything to happen the way it did. Even if you think its an accident.
I'm really begining to understand why things went the way they did. There must be a reason and im begining to see it. These 3 things are things no one should ever forget, me included.
This exerpt of a poem by Russell Kelfer is honestly amazing. Sweet, Poetic, Honest.
"No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow."
I hope i truly understand why it had to happen.
Doesn't make the pain go away, but at least you know that it wasn't meaningless.
I just pray that God continues to show me why he allowed me to make the choices i made.
Before i conclude day 2, Happy happy new year to anyone who found my blog. School starts on mon...i really wanna make this sem good.
Happy New Year Guys(:
Iain.
