Summer 2008 was the best and worst summer of my life. I had the best job I'd ever had as a Zoo Camp Counselor and was about to embark upon my senior year in college. But then, in the very first week of June, God called my step-father home to be with Him and what a shock it was to us all. Family, church, community; everyone grieved the loss of this great preacher, husband, and father who left behind his wife of almost nine years, my mother. To say the least, this was a difficult time for my family with the sudden loss of someone so special. We didn't know where to turn except to each other. During this time, my role in my family changed from me being the spoiled youngest child, to the nurturer and protector of my mom. I found strength in God and was able to strengthen and encourage my mom during what was probably the worst season of her life.
In preparation for the funeral my brother and I decided to do a tribute in the form of a song. We sang Donnie McClurkin's "I'll Trust You Lord". To me it was more of a way to minister and comfort my mom when she needed it most. This song is a series of questions that make you think of how no matter what occurs in your life, one must trust God. Even though we found ourselves angry and confused, we had to give the situation to God and honor Him with our trust, knowing that God doesn't make any mistakes.
What does this mean to you? Are you grieving over the loss of a loved one? Are you searching for that career to set you up for the future? Are you coming out of a bad situation and feel like all hope is gone? Don't worry, don't fret! Your blessing you'll get, if you wait on it! He'll do it, just for you!!! Just place whatever your current trial or tribulation in God's hands and say "Yes I Will Trust You Lord!"
Praying Blessings Upon You All,
Pretty Divine
