I want to share with you all something that I noticed in myself. These last few weeks have been stressful. However, I noticed the spiritual growth that I’ve gained.

For months I have been feeling distant from God. A few days ago I found out my mother had been rushed to the ER for a possible stroke. I was so scared. Instead of giving into the fear I listened to worship music, prayed, and told myself and my brother, “She will be okay because Jesus is with her.” Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling distant from God anymore. My mom did end up being fine. It wasn’t a stroke. It turned out to be vertigo.

So I have grown to change my thinking. And God gave me such an overwhelming sense of peace through it all. I still have things I am working on, in my own life and thoughts, I am not perfect; Small victories and changes matter!
