The power of trust

Do you put your trust in God? I feel like I do, and then at other times I feel like I don't. For a while I put my trust in God by praying every Sunday, asking to go to Germany. Not to mention wishing on every 11:11 and every eyelash that fell out. I put practically all of my faith and trust (and pixie dust) into God to take me to Germany.

When it had finally become the day that I found out, I said one last time "Please, God. Please let me be accepted." Later that night, at 8:30 pm, the email came. I clicked it. I din't make it. I felt so mad and asked myself what I did wrong. I also became really mad at God for not bringing me to where I wanted to be. Not gonna lie: I lost a little faith.

The next day, there was another 11:11 (don't ask me why, but I still make a wish on every 11:11 I come across). Automatically, the first thing that popped into my head was "please let me go to Germany." I don't even know why I said this because I had already received the email saying I wasn't accepted as a finalist. It just made me more upset about the day before and me getting the email.

The next day rolls along (this is Sunday now), and the best thing in my life happens to me- now bear with me if I have already told you this story. I was eating cereal downstairs, about an hour before we had to leave for church. All of a sudden my mom yells up, "when was the last time you checked your email?!" I respond, "I don't know, I have about 700 emails I have to go through." She told me to come upstairs, but she said it with tears in her eyes like she was crying. I kind of figured that maybe she got an email saying one of our relatives- like my grandma or grandpa- had died. So I became kind of worried.

I got to my mom and she had me look over her shoulder to read the email. It said to please disregard the email the sent previously and that I a now a finalist because a few applicants had dropped out. I just about screamed my head off and then broke down crying. I called up a couple of my friends immediately and they were all like, "whoa, calm down, what's wrong?" And I was all like, "not what's wrong, it's what's right." I then realized how important it was to trust God. He has a plan for all of us and a specific way to draw it out. Let's just hope that my plan involves me going to Germany! :)
