the first two weeks!!

So its been almost two weeks and I'm already a little homesick:( But God has been teaching me a lot about trusting Him and praising Him in the hard times!
Last thursday (June 5th) my dad called me and told me that at my mom's appointment the day before, they couldnt find the heart. I was really worried, but my discipler, Heather, prayed with me and it really helped me to trust God. The following wednesday my mom went to her appointment and had told me that morning to call her when I got off work. That morning Heather came to my room before work and prayed with me. I was so scared that something was going to be wrong, but she showed me that I needed to place my faith in God and trust that everything will go according to His will.
So, when I got off work it was raining, so I hung out in the store and called my mom. The news wasnt that great. The baby is doing fine, she is growing and they saw her hands and feet. They did find the heart, but there was a problem. It wasnt a major problem, but she will have to have surgery right after she is born.
After hearing this I was really upset, so I called Heather and asked if I could talk to her. She asked me how my mom was and I told her that I had to talked to her when I got back.
When I got back I ran up to her room and told her what my mom had said and through tears and prayers, I started to feel better.
That night we had reflection after dinner. I read a couple of chapters from this book that my grandma had given me called God is in the tough stuff. There was this one chapter that talked about rejoicing through stuffering. It talked about how God places hard times in our lives so that we can grow closer to him.
I talked to my mom right after I had talked to Heather and I had beed telling her that I knew God was using this for something, but I didnt know what. Now I know that God wants me to grow closer to Him and that had I been at home when they found the problem with the baby's heart, I might not have gone to Him and depended on God in this time of need.
Yesterday, Friday June 13, I had a one-on-one with Heather and we talked about walking in the Spirit. I realized that it was a day-to-day thing, and even sometimes and moment-to-moment thing. I know now that I have to place my faith in Him every moment of the day. Everytime I feel scared or homesick, I place my faith in God and pray that He will give me peace that everything will be fine and go according to His will!
I guess that's all for now. Please continue to pray for my mom and the baby.
