I felt as if he had placed me on the wrong path in life. One bad thing after another fell in my path, and I felt as if God had turned on me. Although, throughout the struggles, I never stopped believing he would always be there for me, and would someday, sooner or later, turn everything around for the better.<\/p>\n<p>Last January my dad was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and I thought my life would never be the same. I was right, but in a different way than I previously assumed. Although I originally reacted by being mad at God, I realized he was the person I should be turning to for help in my time of need. This strengthened my relationship with God and ultimately led me through my struggles. I knew I could talk to God at anytime, about anything, and he would understand, and guide me with the right mind-set.<\/p>\n<p>This impacted my life by allowing me the chance to change my life forever. I have gained a whole new perspective on the life God had given me. When my dad was sick, I found a new appreciation for the life I was living, because you never know when it may end. I learned to take nothing for granted, because the next day it may not be there. I also was enlightened with the knowledge that everything does happen for a reason. And although at times it seems as if there is no way to justify it, in the end it may change your life. I know that God will always be part of my life, and I know he will continue to be there for me, as long as I continue to believe in his unending powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my final blog I thought it would be appropriate to discuss my personal religion, Christianity, and my personal relationship with God. \u00a0There came a time in my life where I was mad at God.
