May the peace of Christ be with you

An experience I’ve been through.. hmm I’ve never been through anything traumatizing. But as a Christian, as a person I’ve been through many lows.

In school and at work, many insecurities and moments of self doubt. Take school for instance, I’ve felt like I’ve been in college for like centuries. I’ve struggled with finding what career path I’ve been wanting to take from being a firefighter to a paramedic to many others careers. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what exactly I wanted to do. All I knew was that I wanted to help people.

I prayed and asked God for wisdom on what to decide because it is a very important step in life. After so many times attempting other paths, and even failing (yes it’s normal to fail, but not okay to stay where you are at, you have to keep trying.)

I’ve felt a special connection with respiratory therapist career where I will help kids, adults, and elderly with their breathing emergencies and non emergencies. Most importantly, helping them with the breath of Life that God has placed in each person. It’s been a long time coming and by the Glory of God I will be starting soon.

It’s something that you may think as not a big deal but it truly is. Many youth and students struggle with this even adults. The only way I’ve been able to overcome these thoughts and trials has been focusing on one thing. One person. God. He has always been the One that sustained me through these moments.

Through these moments, I’ve learned to put all my trust in Him. I’ve learned that without what I’ve been through I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Most of the time, God will not move the mountains you face. God moves mountains,yes but he also calls us to climb them as well.

Many times, you won’t have the strength to, but with Christ it is possible. I overcame them because he already overcame for Me. Every breath, every step I take it’s all possible because of Him. That’s what my mentality was and still is to this day.

Yes, we have lows but that is not the end. I’ve had to change my vocabulary from negative to positive.

I finish by saying this “ the one who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion. “ Philippians 1:6
