I am learning more everyday

About a week ago I found a lump in my neck, granted I was scared. Not at what it may be, but at having to find the money to go see the doctor. I posted on Twitter asking for prayer and mentioned that I do not have the money to go to the doctor. You see finances are real tight right now at my house. Granted it would cost me $20 to go see the doctor, but I also owe the doctor money and I didn't have the finances for both.
After posting the prayer request and I was not asking for money, two people came forward and told me that they would give me the money. One person I have known for over 26 years and she is like a sister to me. The other we have met through a band website and have not met in person. When I read her response I started to cry, very few things make me cry and this one truly touched me. I have learned so much about human kindness and God's grace that I cannot explain. Later that day I was talking to one of the girls in my chemistry lab and I told her what happened and she offered to cover anything else that might come up. Three times in one day I was shown how much God is in control and how God's love is in people even strangers. I may never be able to repay everyone's kindness but I can truly tell them that they have affected me more than words can ever say.
You see there are times when my faith isn't as strong as most. I seem to struggle everyday with my not being worthy enough to be called a friend, a sister, a daughter, but most importantly a child of God. Then I am reminded that there are people who think more of me than I do myself. Blessings come in many forms and every shape and size. I thank God for the blessings that he has given me, the great and small. But most of all I thank God for putting people in my life whom I have the pleasure to call my friends and family. You see family is not just having the same blood running through you. But family are those whom God has put together. Whether we are brothers or sisters by blood or brothers and sisters through a bond that may seem to some as superficial, what I have discovered is that brother or sisterhood goes beyond that of blood and at times seems stronger.
So to all my brothers and sisters thank you for reminding me and teaching me of God's love. I can never tell you how much I treasure all of you.
