A few days ago, I received a couple of letters: one that lifted me up, and one that brought me down. It's strange how life presents you with 2 opposing news. one that would overwhelm me with pride and another with shame. I then succumb to a momentary grief since the news was somewhat shocking for me. The letter sent to me by my adopted son couldn't somehow overshadow the fear I had that time.
So after telling 3 of my friends about it, I knew that telling them wouldn't appease me. I had to find peace in me and had to decide to be on top of the situation no matter what. I suddenly remembered what Oprah said that really sticked out in me while I was watching an episode of her show on the Secret. They were just talking about how to overcome obstacles. She then said that in times of trouble, we should ask ourselves - what do I need to learn for me to overcome this; what is God trying to teach me this time- that was the line I was hanging my sanity to.
There I found peace.
