I thought I had my life together, like I was on top of the

world and no one could knock me down. Life was great- I had the perfect job,

perfect relationship, and for once college wasn’t stressing me out. I woke up

each morning and after having my coffee, I was ready to begin my day. Then all

of a sudden, boom. Everything changed. I let college get the best of me, and I struggled

with zero motivation to wake up for class and work. I lost the person I thought

I would be with for the rest of my life, and I shut all of my friends and

family out. I questioned God. “What the heck are you doing, God? It’s not

supposed to be this way.” I was so mad at God and I shut Him out too. My life

was literally a wreck and I worried that I would stay in this funk forever. I had

enough of it, and right before I was about to give up on God altogether, I took

my troubles to him one last time. The very next day, everything changed again,

a good kind of change. I realized that God had bigger and better plans for me. Sometimes

the unexpected things are the best things. Don’t ever question God, because He

is good and He knows exactly what He is doing. Years ago, a friend told me that

what seems like forever to us is only seconds in Gods eyes, and my friend was

right. God doesn’t put us through things He knows we couldn’t handle. I have never

been this truly happy, and people can see it. I am thankful for my past and the

struggles I went through, because it made me the person I am today. I’m not

saying we won’t ever go through hard times, because we will. But trust God,

always. Praise Him through the good and bad. Run after Him like you never have

before and let Him write your story; it’s beautiful every time.
