A Sister's Life Changing Experience Of Faith And Hope Part Twenty Five

The next morning, we eat breakfast at the hotel and go over the routine again. Then we get ready to leave the hotel to go back to where we preformed last night. Today was a Christmas Morning performance and I couldn't believe it, this was the last day preforming at a place like this. This was the last day that I would be performing with my sister's team. I mean was this the life changing experience I was supposed to fulfill? I mean was this what God's plan was for my life? I kept thinking about this, after we arrived to our destination. We practice for a bit, while Blake, my aunt, and parents take their seats. The girl from the one team comes over and says to me that no matter what you're fortunate to have a brother, you're blessed to have an aunt, uncle, cousins, and parents that are here to support you. She says if her cousin were here today instead of in the hospital again then she would be saying to any of us that when God calls us for a purpose we may not be able to see, when He is working among us and calling to us, that is when we should be praying and praying that God knows what is best for us. She goes back to her team and the competition director says our team is up first. Right after we finished, we watched the other team that was here the other night. We were happy to know that no matter who preformed that it was all going towards a good cause. I thought about what the one girl told me today and all I could about was how she was right. I thought about how I knew I was blessed to be celebrating Christmas with my family, I knew I was blessed to have celebrated Christmas Eve with them too. I knew that I was blessed to know if my sister was here that we would be truly blessed to know that she would tell us everything was alright because before she passed away, I somehow knew from when I did see her that one night, that she somehow knew mom and everyone were going to be alright, and I think the reason for that is because God knows that we're going to be okay as long as we believe in Him and we know that He can do all things. He knows that we have hurt when we are in grieving, but He is there for us. He knows when we're in danger and He protects us. He knows that when we pray to Him, He hears us loud and clear. He knows our needs, because He created us in His image and our faith and hope need to grow stronger everyday. So why would I tell you this? Well, because when we heard the director call both teams up towards him, we knew that a plaque for both of the teams would be donated to our school in honor of a family member. So the one girl got the plaque in honor of her cousin and we got ours in honor of my sister. We all went back to the hotel and ate supper together, and then we went to our hotel rooms to go to sleep, because we knew that we would be traveling back home again, early tomorrow morning.
