"Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon." - Martin Luther
This young lady had a somewhat 'close' relationship, with pain and
grief. Why do I say so? Read a bit of her life's experiences. She has a
unique grief story. As a child, her father was hit by a drunk driver,
he died instantly. She also lost all her grandparents, two of her uncles
and an aunt. She has experienced the deaths of two fiancés. Two. One of
her fiancés died just one month before her sister suddenly died. To add
salt to the injury, she was also wrongly fired: laid off from work.
Before you get all moody, hear what she says in the midst of all these,
"The treasures I've learned through loss are not something I can go out
and buy at the Supermarket!"
How do you handle grief? In life,
God is not the cause of your grief or painful experiences, even though
He allows it, sometimes. Just know that every allowed pain, by God, in
your life is not to destroy you...but to build you. Learn to trust and
praise God through your storms.
