In my first reflections post I told you guys, I would post more in the future these are moments worthy of being remembered and shared! I hope you are just as encouraged as I was !
We hear the saying everything happens for a reason so often. When you are going through tough times you sometimes don't want to hear or understand how that can be a positive! (Just keeping it real) I have to testify because this moment in my life I hope to reflect on often because it was right on time. It was at one of the lowest feeling moments in my life, everything seemed to be going wrong. I mean from finance, friendships, health, even my relationship. I walked into work eyes puffy and red from crying the whole drive there. It felt like I was crying from my soul. As I was trying to get my self together I made myself some hot tea so I can push through it. ( cause that's what we do never really healing) a woman I've talked too a few times at work but don't have relationship with outside work said hello. She noticed my red eyes and sad expression and asked if I was ok an I assured her I'd be fine. sn: ( we often say will be fine to not put our "buisness out there" ) this very moment gave me hope again! The woman said to me "I am lead to share my testimony with you if that's ok? " So I'm like sure in my head thinking "maybe this will easy my racing thoughts and the pain I was feeling in side". The woman began to tell me her story and all the hell she had been through similar to what I was going through. The best part about her story was how she talked with confidence and faith as hard as her situation was. She didn't allow the situation to make her bitter she gave her story with the assurance that everything will be alright. Years of trials and she never gave up. She trusted in the promises that God had made too her. It was amazing to me to hear that someone really understood the turmoil I was feeling at that moment. I've never in my life felt the amount of pain, agony and confusion as I did that day. My troubles didn't just start that day but were built up of many episodes that hit me one after the other. That day was the straw that broke the camels back! I was crushed bruise, tired, bust and disgusted as they say. I'm so thankful that this woman was able to share . There was no concern about me judging her for what she had been through. She was delivered and was sharing her story to encourage me. At that moment I felt like I can make it ,like this storm was worth what was at the end of it. I posted previously in the blog "the strong " we need love too. We exchanged numbers that day and the woman extended her help whenever I needed it. How I wish that more people can be like this. Many walk around with the answer to someone's dispare locked up inside of them. I never thought I would reach the point of where I was. No one is exempt from going through things. I thank God for this woman I thank God for her story and courage to share with pretty much a stranger. I am eternally Greatful! That was my reflection moment :)
