Yesterday I was in Church, and the Passage was given from Second Timothy Chapter 4 Starting at Verse 7.
The Pastor read, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. When this was read, I cried in my husband's arms. It was the last thing that my Uncle JB said to me before he slipped into his coma, and eventually died.
"Niece he said, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, I was built for this." After I cried, I smiled, because it doesn't matter what we are going through, with life's ups and downs. We are built for it! I always thought, why do I always have to struggle, why isn't things just handed to me like other folks, but I think that I have to fight hard, its part of my testimony. Actually in theory, nothing is expected to come easy to a child of God! I think I have learned that.
Brighter days are coming, we just have to remain faithful. Things are never as bad as it seems. My uncle fought a tough battle, and he is probably the strongest man I would ever know, but he told us, Don't worry about me, I was built for this. I am a soldier in the Army for God. (He actually was in the Army, so he used soldier quite a bit.)
Don't worry he says, anyone that knows me, is what I do.. I am a worrier.. I am a prayer, but I worry so much, and thinking back, I always have. And even through the mist of the tears, the worries, the prayers, God ALWAYS makes a way for me!
I wanted to share why, on this Monday morning, I am not grumpy, but smiling with a tear, its funny how moments in our lives becomes linked to a person, a place or a thing. Sometimes I believe its down right magical!
Welp Divas, until next time TWO SNAPS~~
My Uncle!! May He Rest In Peace!
