This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately. Why me? I've been thinking about my life right now. Why do I deserve such a great education from Whitworth? Why do I deserve such great support from my friends and family around me? Why do I deserve to be a part of Sonshine?! I feel so blessed to be able to serve with all of you!!! I often wonder what God sees in me to give me the opportunity to serve. I am no one. I am just a biology major at Whitworth -- a small Christian school in a city not many people outside the state of Washington have ever heard of. I am just one person yet Christ has blessed me with so many things. What did I do to deserve it over the next person? What about the homeless or the hungry? Why me and not them?
So many questions and I am no where near to finding any answers. But everyday, Christ teaches me something new. I learn from Christ -- what I have learned is to serve and follow Him. If I give it all to God and trust Him and follow Him, I can begin to find my purpose. Everyday I face challenges. Challenges with my schoolwork, with friends, and with my faith. I am blessed to have friends that continue to challenge me in my faith to learn more and dig deeper.
Why me Lord? What have I done? Help me to open my eyes and my heart to you. Help me to find my purpose. Teach me Lord. You have placed all these things in my life for a reason -- help me to see. Help me to understand. I pray that as I continue to grow in your word, that I may continue to share your love with others and to live my life only for you Lord. Amen.
It's such a humbling experience to think about the "why me" questions of our faith. Because, truth is...we don't deserve any of it. But, it is given to us anyways. Because God is a good, just, loving god. Sooo good. :)
