Testimony:
I've been struggling spiritually for several months now. I was frustrated with God because my relationship didn't work out, I'm still sick, I felt like my church family abandoned me and I didn't feel like I'm progressing in life.
I stopped talking to God because I didn't feel as if He was listening. I couldn't attend church because of my health/energy and I didn't feel like the church people cared anyways. I was bitter and hurt. Why would God allow me to know His truth(the truth) and then leave me alone with no true fellowship?
Anyways, let's fast forward to my birthday. I decided to have a pool party/game night and one of my sisters gave me an iTunes gift card. Well, I'm funny with gift cards and it takes me forever to use them because I always want to use them on the perfect thing.
Fast forward again... Trip Lee's album came out this week and I decided that I would listen to it. Well, it was so good that I decided to buy it. I purchased the album and listened to his song "Sweet Victory" where he raps about his health.
Did y'all know Trip had a chronic illness? Well, I didn't either. That's all the encouragement that I needed. I really needed to know that their are Christians out there that are openly struggling with their health.
See what most healthy people don't understand is that it can be lonely to struggle with a chronic illness. You look to God like "why me?" And you see everyone else functioning but you can't do simple things. It's hard. But Trip rapped about the victory that we have in our God. We will make it to the finish line. We will endure until the end. God will give me just enough strength to make it through the day. God will give me the health to complete the task that He has bestowed upon me. It'll be a sweet victory.
