It has been almost two months since my last post. So much has happened, both good and bad, but it was all a learning experience.
Honestly, my senior year has sucked. My classes aren’t that great, the homework is horrid, the internship I have had to do twice is kind of a bummer, and to put the cherry on top, my parents are getting a divorce. I know that this is kind of not what I expected for the year before I leave to go spread the Good News to all of the earth, but I did learn some things.
Lamentations and Jeremiah have kind of saved me from going deeper into my own sadness. Lamentations is where I dug in last time I was this upset, and it was bleak, but there is a part in the scripture where God is offering hope to those who are going through the pains of life.
I am looking forward to the day where I get to meet my Father in person. I am grasping onto the hope that I am given through God’s word.
Jeremiah is lovely. It talks about how God is angry at Israel because they have sinned against Him. He is telling them how they should not be able to come back to His embrace through a comparison of how if a wife divorces her husband and goes to a different man that she should not be allowed back to her husband.
Then God goes on to say that He cannot remain angry at Israel. He welcomes them back into His embrace.
I feel like not only was this meant for my anger against my pains, but my sins as well. I have not been the best model for a Christian, and this has shown me that even though I make mistakes, I am still deeply loved. I am still welcomed back into God’s love.
I don’t know if this post made any sense, but basically I have been angry and upset for a long time and I am just now getting over it because of God’s word.
