She said it......

It's not everyday that one finds something so powerful to read .Not powerful in the overly poetic sense but when one bumps into posts that remind us of the human thread that binds us all.The sheer resilliance that we all have when faced with adversity.My dear freind Ackie from KingdomRags posted this diary entry that simply reminded me why I started the "Epiphanies" section of my blog .The will to share and release as blogging unlike any other media platform is one that is personal,unedited and most of all true.To me that is what defines a good blog.I surely will support her through this time but again I'm reminded why i fell inlove with her spirit.To Ackie ...We will eat a croissant and keep the faith up.

"My Aftermath left me living......

It's been a bumpy road, one that started out smooth and now seemingly has me tossed and turned and shaken to the core. I've stopped asking God 'why me?' because it is a pathetic question really. Instead I sit and think... yes me. Only I am strong enough to handle this, only i am strong enough to get through it, if not me then who? Yes there are much felonious people out there than I will ever be in my years of living but even they too don't deserve it - now I’m not just saying this to win you into thinking I’m a meat ball of good heart or the essence of stupid for confessing that the atrocious shouldn't be punished, I am merely saying this because of the view in which I am standing. Going through hardship graduates mind and heart, it steps you up even though it steps on you hard so I will take it if it comes.

I will never decline promotion so this too I take to be just that, a spiritual promotion, a stronger and wiser me in the process of end. No matter how ‘perfect’ you are, you are bound to experience hurt and unfairness, no man is immune to it no matter how carefully you choose to tread. I heard a man once said that if you go through trouble and learn not the lesson you will go through it again till the lesson is learnt and kept. The bitter side is that people dwell in hurt in the process. But the lesson stands to educate. People only parish because they lack knowledge.

I have refrained from punishing myself for actions that I have done, it’s ever so normal for life to drag you through the mud no matter what choice you make...there is nothing that can take that away. I have traded self-pity for love regardless of what happens - and believe me it is hard- something I call a beautiful exchange, something I too am still to fully fathom.

God remains the same whether one believes in him or not, whether I acknowledge him or not. Unlike the beauty and fame of it all He will never fade nor wither. His perfection took my place, and I halt being hard on myself when others choose to hurt me. A friend once noted that Gods greatest gift to man was also Choice. No one can take choice away from anyone. And even in my salty morning I realise that my aftermath left me living. And that is good enough for me. After all great tribulations only stand in front of greater people."
