my 'secret'

I'm on the schedule to do the message for chapel tomorrow morning. I've run out of Francis Chan messages in spanish, and I was hit with a brainwave (aka lightbulb from God?) that I should share my testimony. So I've been hammering away after Spanish class tonight, trying to say the right thing, the relevant thing. As always, God better be in this. He has proven many times, especially in public speaking at camp, that even though I feel nauseous up there,  that he can somehow put the right words in my mouth. Here's the end of my testimony, where I share my secret for life. (Ha! Yikes. Not a crazy secret or anything)

How do I live with this garbage[people dying, hard jobs, being alone, feeling lost, bullying, etc]? This is my secret. I remember that God is faithful. That he is all knowing and all powerful. He LOVES me. He knows best. When hard things happen, I cry, I dig deep into God’s Word, and I read what he tells me. He reminds me that he has it under control. He reminds me that I am weak, but that when I trust in him, I am strong. I don’t always understand, because I am just a little human. But he is GOD. So I trust him.

Ps 46:1-2

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not be afraid! Even though the earth crumbles and the mountains fall to the bottom of the sea.

  
If you want to, please pray I will be clear and God-honouring, and that they will be encouraged and challenged.
