trials. again, bc I think getting different stories and perspectives can help a sister out. aka different views can help you out when you're facing trials.
So my "guest blogger" (I always feel like I'm a super cool host of something really great, and I'm interviewing famous ppl when I say "guest blogger" weird? Yeah.) today is Milla Davis. She's hilarious. She's beautiful. She's a soon to be a professional women's basketball player, and she wants to adopt stray animals when she's old. haha. I love her and she's my best friend/sister. So without further ado. Here's what she had to say. (But first a pic of course. personality pic)
Have you ever faced a trial?
Milla: yes!!
Tell a story of a trial you've faced:
Milla: Well, I'm actually in a current trial right now. It's called highschool!! Everyday I struggle with how to act ( I may have what some call a dirty mouth ) and unfortunately my music is not the best either. My attitude on the basketball court is not how I would like it to be. I want to be the "salt" in life and be a good example for others, but that means sacrificing huge things!!
How did you overcome that trial?
Milla: Well, since I'm in the midst of my trial right now, I can't answer this. But, I can tell you how I'm trying to overcome it. I'm getting involved in a bunch of bible studies with my friends:). I'm reading a book called Salvaging My Identity, and it is really helping me become the woman I want to be. Also, I'm increasing my prayer life and talking to God more about it each day!! (Talking with the Lord helps a ton)
How did God work in your life through that trial?
Milla: God placed a very special person in my life to pull me back on my feet and help me to be the best I can possibly be. That person's name is Mary Catherine :). She's helped me in ways I never thought possible and I can't explain here in words how much she means to me. I'd be the exact same person I was 3 weeks ago if it wasn't for MC lifting me up so much lately. All I can say is thank you God for a friend like her. I can only hope I have half as much of an impact on her life as she has on mine!
Encouraging tips for people facing trials:
Milla: If you're like me, you're struggling with the fear of the world not accepting you, non-stop worrying about other people's opinions!! I know it's easier said than done, but think about it. Would you rather please people whose opinions are continually changing about you, or the almighty God of the universe who gave his life for you? I think we know the obvious answer here, lol.
Bible verses to read when in trials like this one:
Milla: Galations 1:10 (my favorite)
Romans 12:2
John 15:19 (hits me hard)
Extra:
Milla: as easily as it is to conform to the world (party, drink, listen to bad music, cuss on the daily), we were hand picked by the Lord to be a bright light for others. So, I encourage you to let the Lord use you and become part of his great plan!
S/O to both of these girls (SMP, Milla D) for stepping out of their comfort zone, and telling about their trials! How great are they?
HAVE A FABULOUS WEEK!!!
