longer articles (but let's be real they won't all be long).
Often times we question God and what He's doing in our lives. We stress out and worry that God won't work all things for our good. I've had much experience in this area as I'm sure you have as well. We can question God when a loved one dies, when a friend betrays us, or parents are fighting. Then there's the "God's not fair" thing. I've heard it as well as said it many times before. It's hard to trust God when life just does not seem fair.
I am extremely blessed and thankful to be going to a Christian school now. Hear me out though, it was not always like this. I'm going to go wayyyy back to 5th grade. This was the worst school year I ever had, by far. I was constantly bullied for a number of things, my so called "friends" turned against me, and I was constantly made fun of for going to church and believing in God. I would come home most days crying because of what people said to me and I absolutely hated going to school. It was a down part of my life and I really could not see why God would allow this to happen to me. I do tend to be more of a fragile person when it comes to things people say to me so words REALLY do hurt. After that year, my parents started looking at other schooling options and found a local Christian school pretty close to home. They called and turns out, the 6th grade class was full. My parents kept praying though for a miracle and then, we got a call... they were opening up another class for all the new students! It was seriously a major blessing because that year was by far my favorite year of school. I only had about 6 kids in my class and everyone was so kind. This is one of many experiences that cause me to thank God for that 5th grade year. The worst year of school led me to the best year of school, and the one I currently attend, 5 years later. The school is NOT perfect and by no means has every step been easy (homework is CRAY 99% of the time), but it IS where God has me right now. By no means did I experience the worst things possible and I realize many of you probably still deal with what I went through. Know this though: God's not done with you yet. Not until you take your last breath is He done. He is still working on you, right at this moment, every single day. Keep your faith rooted in Jesus because He is working all things for your good (Romans 8:28). I love this quote from Jeffrey R. Holland- "Keep your chin up, trust in God, and believe in good things to come". Keep on keeping on, God know's what He's doing.
