The Return of I'm Counting on God


Remember this song? I know I already used this song but it is sooo fitting. I'll get back to that.

So my dad had surgery on Monday, went better than planned. I get to spend pretty much every moment with him now. It is actually fun and we get to do a lot of things together. However, this means that everyone in my family are a lot busier than usual and focused on my dad. We hadn't gotten our mail in a while. Yesterday, I received a letter I should have gotten a while ago. It was from the U notifying me due to my low grades (B- GPA) I had to drop most of my classes.

This was NOT good. It caused a whole bunch of crying, stressing, and not good-ness. It was a mess. However it caused me to rely on God. Obviously my plans for my life weren't working, so I just had to trust God. Even in all the chaos, putting my full trust in God felt amazing! The feeling that I got realizing that even if my life was a disaster, I had God and he would take care of me and always love me, man that was a relief.

I ended up talking to my very wise friend Kate Rabago. I told her that I just wanted the strength and endurance just to get through the night. She brought up this song. Even though I was freaking out. God gives me joy...he gives me the strength I need to make it through the day. And with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26.) God has my back. I can always rely on Him. So new life plans: listen to God and rely on Him more.

I'm counting on God!
