Reflective Essay

So, I'm not entirely sure what a reflective essay is, but here's my best attempt:

As I sit here in the emergency room, a song runs through my head.
"Joy unspeakable that won't go away. Just enough strength, to live for today. So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring, 'cause my faith is on a solid rock, I am counting on God. I am counting on, I am counting on God" (by Desperation Band)
Right now, these lyrics mean so much to me. I know that I cannot handle what lies ahead without God's strength, and my future rests solely in his hands. I'm reminded of a "dojo rule" I had to memorize for karate: "Endure hardship, for it builds character." Two years ago, I went on a backpacking/canoeing trip, and sprained my ankle the first day. The only way I managed was through God's strength. But I remember being on the trail in intense pain, just quoting to myself over and over, "Endure hardship for it builds character." But hard as it was, that trip taught me so much.
And so, as I sit here, once again in intense pain, I realize that I do trust God in this. I don't know what's going to happen, I have no idea what the next few days will hold, but I have no control over it, and worrying won't help at all. I truly am "counting on God."
