🌿 Nothing in life happens by chance — even in heartbreak, God is working behind the scenes, holding us when we don’t even realize it. 💛

Title: Nothing Happens by Chance

As I sit here writing this, several memories come to mind — especially one from when I was younger. I lost my cousin in a car wreck, and she was like a sister to me. When she passed, my world crumbled. I knew about God, but I didn’t really know Him then.

The pain was more than I could understand. I had thoughts no child — or adult — should ever have. She had always believed in me, supported me, and cared for me deeply. When she was gone, I felt lost and broken.

But even in that darkness, God was there. I didn’t see it at the time, but now I know it was Him keeping me from making choices that could have ended everything. It was God tugging at my heart, whispering that there was still purpose for my life.

Looking back, I can see His hand guiding me through so many moments I didn’t understand. Now, when pain or uncertainty comes, I turn to the Lord. He always finds a way to speak to me — sometimes through someone I meet, or through a preacher’s message that feels like it was meant just for me.

Through it all, I’ve learned this: God knows every part of our lives from beginning to end. Nothing surprises Him. Nothing is wasted. And nothing happens by chance.

✨ “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Like? Being Christ-like is more than a title we claim—it is a life we live. In the Bible, being Christ-like means reflecting Jesus’ character, attitudes, and actions . It means embodying radical love, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice—even toward those who hurt us or oppose us. It is a daily transformation of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, as we become more like Him. Being Christ-like is not about following rules or appearing religious. It is about carrying the heart of Jesus —a servant’s heart. It’s about letting the world see Christ in us through how we love, forgive, serve, and walk in obedience to God. Jesus taught us to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Christ-likeness means humility—laying aside pride and choosing obedience: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…” — Philippians 2:5...

Here are some important facts everyone should know: • Autoimmune disease: Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. • Insulin is essential for survival: People with Type 1 must take insulin every day through injections or an insulin pump.

This Mother’s Day has brought a lot of emotions for me. I miss my daughter deeply, and there are moments when the grief still feels very heavy. There’s an emptiness that comes with losing a child that never fully goes away. But by the grace of God, I’m making it through one moment at a time. 🙏 And while my heart misses my daughter here on earth, I’m also thankful for the blessings God has still given me.
