Hardships and blessings

For the past couple weeks, my family has been having a hard, hard time.
Money issues. Grade issues for me and my brother. Car issues. Friend issues. Stupid financial aid.
Stress, Stress, Stress.

Every day, more things kept happening. It got to the point where I was past crying and just laughed the more terrible things got.
My mom kept saying "eventually things are gonna turn around".

And then they did.

I got a call from my mom saying that we got a couple thousand dollar donation to our mission trips, and now are pretty much paid for.
I went to remediation for a test that I had barely failed, and my teacher raised my grade for going and now I'm passing the class with a B.
My dad got a really great car.
My brother got another chance with a messed up paper for his college class.
Financial aid is in the process of being worked out.

I love that God is so faithful. If we wouldn't have had the hardships, we wouldn't have realized how great what we got is, or how he really does take care of our every need.

So if you're going through a really hard time right now, take it to God. He'll help when you ask.
