As I start typing I am filled with so many emotions. I really don't even know what I am going to say and usually I have some idea. This has been a trying week for me. Yet in the midst of chaos God is still calling me and reminding me that He is in control. I tragically lost two cousins last Saturday. One ate a poisonous mushroom and the other died in a fiery car accident while riding with her grandma (my aunt). She was only sixteen. My aunt who is like my mom (she always tells people that I am her first born) is in critical condition. I have been trying so hard not to question God and have faith knowing that He knows best. However, it makes no sense and the pain is torturous! Meanwhile, I'm trying to hold my family together and help get us through this difficult time. It is such an eye opener to how short life really is. And how unnecessary it is to fight with people and hold grudges. This situation has filled me with so much love not only for my family and friends but for people in general. At my cousin's candlelight vigil I shared that the devil could care less how young we are. He wants to kill and destroy this generation. There is no more time to put Jesus to the side and ignore His call. Times are getting crazier and crazier and it's very obvious that tomorrow is not promised. People are dying! People have no idea if they would go to heaven or hell. It's time to wake up. We have to come together and build a nation that will come against the evil in this world. We have to support one another rather than hate on the next person for doing something positive with their life. I am so sick and tired of social media being filled with people fighting, kids being raped and kidnapped, women degrading themselves for attention, and so on. It's ridiculous. And it's time to wake up! Why are people ashamed to talk about Jesus but not ashamed to show their body or to show someone being bullied while you record it? There needs to be a change and it starts with us. We have to be the change that we want to see.
