It was the best of times, it was the worse of times

To be honest I don't really know why I chose that as the title of this blog. I think that lately I've just been more sensitive to what's going on around me. Internalizing the events that take place even more so than usual. I think that it probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm going on a mission and I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about everything. I used to think that for everything good that happened three equally if not worse things would happen. Now I understand that with every three GREAT things that happen, the Lord blesses us more by allowing us to be tried and tested. Through these tests more great things happen and we're blessed even more. This has been a great month for so many reasons. This month has been a month of loss and gain moreso than few others that I've had. I've lost people that I love, whether by death, circumstance or distance. But I've been fortunate to have found new people to love. At times when I thought I was going to be filled with so much sadness, the Lord has truly had compassion and mercy on me. He's allowed me to feel his peace and that's make all the darkness disappear. I'm so grateful for what I know and what I have.
