light of the world

Today, I’d like to write about the thing that has gotten me to the point I am right now. It’s my faith and relationship with my Lord, Jesus Christ. It amazes me how He has put everything in my life in the exact time it needed to happen. If certain events hadn’t happened through my life in the way they did, I don’t know where I’d be right now! He’s given me the strength to get through each day despite my struggles. (Philippians 4:13) I just have to have faith that God will take care of me. I look back and He always has, so I just have to trust and have the faith that He always will. You might ask “why would a loving God give you something like APD?” Well I don’t believe God game me APD. But God turns what we see as bad things into good things! (Romans 8:28) And like I always thought “what good could come out of having APD?” Well if I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t have ever met some people online who share my struggles. We are able to talk to each other about it and it’s a great feeling to know the other will understand. There’s a special friendship we have that we couldn’t have with anyone else. We’re there for each other to build each other up. And just having the opportunity to share my faith makes dealing with APD worth it. I started this blog and have had the opportunity to reach people all over the world! I get messages/emails all the time from parents and teachers saying that I’ve helped them understand their kids or themselves more. That means so much to me! If I could go back in time and take away my APD… I don’t think I would. It’s worth it to go through what I go through if it means I can have an impact on just one person’s life and share the news of Jesus Christ! He died for me, and so I live for Him. I’m by far not perfect. But I try to do my best at everything I do for Him. I don’t do it for myself or for my teachers or for my parents. I do it for Him. (Colossians 3:23) I’m trying to be a light in this dark world. (John 8:12) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8cX6SHtxeE I never would have made it this far without God and I couldn’t just not talk about it to you all as my readers. I challenge you to pick up a bible and read it for yourself. See firsthand how much God loves YOU and I promise He will change your life if you let Him!
