So, It's Been One Year...

A lot has happened in the past year:

I have...

...graduated high school...

...worked at my first job...

...gone to college...

...paid my own rent...

...joined a great church...

...joined a great bible study...

...joined an amazing a cappella group...

...made awesome new friends...

...been a year without a mother...

Without a doubt things have been different and harder in some ways. I do miss her hugs, her laughs and her fobbish english. Yet, I am glad. She's with Jesus who can provide more for her than I can. She's with her everything. And for this I'm glad. (To read more about my mom's story, click here.) I await the day where I see her again in heaven with Christ in our glorified bodies.

As mentioned before there have been a lot of changes, and most the most important my love for God has grown tremendously. I've learned to love and trust Him more and praise Him despite my condition. I've learned to be satisfied in Him alone.


Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!
-Before the Throne of God Above, V.4
