The Mountain - 9781644921951

Usually, adults understand me when I say, "Jesus really changes your life." They understand better, because they have lived through more experiences and can look back on those experiences with the perspective that God had everything in His hands. He knew what would happen. He knew when it would happen. He even knew the people and circumstances that it would take to get you to where he wanted you. I was taught from a very young age Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Knowing that verse as a child helped me through many of my trials and hardships. It is quite a process getting to the place where you really begin to truly understand the goal of God is not to harm you; even though it seems like everything is out to take us down, overwhelm, and crush us. The Lord is right there through even the worst of it. His plan is in motion, and what lies in store for every Christian, no matter the denomination, is more beautiful and more glorious than you could ever imagine. Although the story is directed toward children, my goal in this story is to help all people see that God is really and truly working everything for your good. He is making something perfect out of the huge mess. He is taking our lumps of coal and, with a little pressure, turning them into diamonds.
