The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back.
