Life is often unpredictable. It can feel like everything is going smoothly, until an unexpected event shakes up your world. That’s exactly what happened to me recently.
When it unfolded, I wasn’t prepared. The discomfort was real—a wave of emotions that seemed unrelenting—but deep down, I knew that it happened for me, not to me. Even though I fully understood that, facing it was never easy. I heard that it takes courage to go through this journey as many of us would rather choose a different path, like… to drink it away. So, gently I reminded myself to be patient with myself. There must be a purpose for this. I just needed time to see it clearly.
In those first few days, I allowed myself space to adjust to the aftermath. I pulled back, disconnected momentarily from the noise of the world, and asked for God’s guidance. I wanted to understand why this was happening and what I needed to learn from it. I knew this wasn’t about dismissing the event; it was about transforming it—and transforming myself through it.
