Preparing for My Blessings

Ahhh Sunday :) So relaxing, refreshing, and calm.  Sunday mornings I always go to church.  Today's message was all about being blessed and preparing for your blessings to come.  There's an obstacle or struggle you must go through before you can receive your blessing much like how there's always a storm before the rainbow.  Any who, I really opened my eyes when listening to this message.  I had a rough time at school this year not due to grades (3.6 GPA this semester! Woop Woop!) but because of people.  A few people who I thought were close to me turned their backs on me and blamed me for them being bad friends.  Today and last week my preacher was talking about people and how they'll try to attach themselves to you when you're doing good so they can take a little credit for it and associate themselves with you, but when you're upset or struggling they all seem to disappear.  That's what happened this year. I stopped partying like I did first semester, really began to focus on my classes and work, and had a happy relationship.  I was sort of doing my own thing and not being a follower anymore which I guess was a turn off to a few.  Long story short, I don't associate with them anymore.  It was a rough time, but I made it through.  I endured the storm and now I'm one step closer to receiving my blessings.  I've moved on, let it all go, and I am glad to say I stand even taller than I did before.  Nobody can shake me no matter how hard they try.  They'll get what's coming and I'll have the last laugh in the long run.  My God is an awesome God and he's getting ready to do great things in my life!
