Over the past few years I questioned God a lot, sometimes calmly, others times – not-so-calmly. But He took it. He understood. The problem was – I was the one that didn’t understand.
Now I do.
When I prayed about this job and that one… and now maybe this one… He kept say… “NO. You are fine where you are!”… OK, How about this one now God? “NO!” *sigh* Why not? “Just trust me.” He’d reply. So I did.
Now, I understand.
He needed me to be there for Jazmine…
Together, we realized that life is best when we smile. Life is best, when we just believe. God knew that.
He needed me to be there with Juan…
He helped me realize that nothing was impossible. He helped me understand that it takes hard work to reach your goals, but it is worth it. He helped me realize that no excuse is good enough to not HAVE to do something. God knew that.
He needed me to get to know Sam-n-Benny…
Who else would have taught me what it meant to truly be there to help anyone that needed the help? Who else would have taught me that true love isn’t always just for adults… some teens can be mature to know when it is real… just look at Sam-n-Benny. They did anything for me. God knew that.
He needed me to learn a few things from Ale…
Just laugh. Don’t take life too serious. She knew how to put a smile on our face, sometimes without even trying. She taught me twitter can be quite entertaining… DUH! God knew that.
He placed me as Erik’s English teacher… let’s face it… he needed the patience I somehow managed to give him… LOL!
God knew that.
I needed to get to know Yoli to realize what true strength meant.
I needed Alexis to show me sincere friendliness…
God knew that.
He knew I needed them in my life way more than they needed me (well, except maybe Erik…j/k).
He knew all along. And now, I do too.
Forever they will be a HUGE part of my life. God knew that.
