Relationship
I cannot explain how excited I am about the paper extension until April 12 and I am finished besides these blogs.  I first off want to start with my weekends and how I enjoy helping the church out through children’s ministries.  I have a burning passion for children of course since my degree is in Education but I love observing the way God works in peoples lives.  I help on Saturday evenings at Forest Park North Campus and then on Sunday mornings before the service.  Helping out with the Church has helped me have a deeper relationship with God and has helped my family, friend, and work life easier.  Not everyday is perfect but I know to put all of my trust in God.  Therefore, I have put a lot of thought into my mothers passing and realized why it happened.  God represented different attributes in our lives when my mother was sick- Compassion, Kindness, and Love.  My father followed his vows and loved my mother unconditionally through her good and bad times and he was by her side every minute.  My sister even though she is a little wild at times and will not let anyone win a fight God helped her with kindness and showing respect towards my mom by dropping out of school.  Seriously, who does that? My sister did.  My mother relied on her all the time while I was out of town for my first year of college.  God showed compassion through me by being Ms. Nurse with bedsores, bed pads, diaper, etc.  I watched as my dad cried in sadness next to her.  I always wondered why God choose our family/life.  Deep thought- God chose our family to help strengthen us in his name.  He wanted us to grow and know that it is ok and that there is a wonderful place and we can overcome obstacles.  I have seen the most amazing miracles happen throughout the past couple weeks by listening to K-LOVE Christian radio station, Pastor Swadley, and most of all my daughters teacher at daycare.  I have been praying every night for Michelle’s mom whom has a brain tumor and the doctors told her she would lose her vision for good on her first couple of treatments of radiation but she is doing AWESOME.  In addition, one of my friends from high school her nephew has gone through over twenty radiations and he officially rang the bell at the St. Louis Hospital.  Honestly, how can you believe that God is not real?  It boggles me… Everyone has his or her own opinions and I understand that, but I see God helping me through his plan.

It's amazing how the Lord can use a situation to better "mold" us into the people He wants us to become. I always think of the song "I'm trading my sorrows, I'm trading my pain, I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord." How often we forget that mentality that we aren't on this earth alone and we don't bear our lives on our own. He helps us through every situation if we just learn to trust and lean on Him.
