And Then God Brought Me To The Other Side...

 The day it all started...

I remember that day well. It was raining. I entered my high school. 

"Have you looked at the announcement board?" One of my classmates asked me.

I went and looked. The ad was talking about Future Leaders Exchange Program--FLEX. I didn't pay much attention to it. Good English--one of the main requirements. I was in school where English wasn't the strongest subject. My high school focused on math and science subjects. 

My teacher, who taught English, suggested that I will participate. I dismissed her suggestion.

Later during the evening my mom said that if I go and participate, I'll have a chance to skip school. Well... I agreed.

Spiritual Strife Shock

 We all have moments when we feel down, crushed, desperate; those moments when you hurt so much that you focus on your pain entirely. You scramble, attempting to recall Bible verses, but you are in so much pain that the voice of reason is barely audible. The voice of pain screams, muffling everything else. Fellow Christians  tell you that everything will work out in accordance with the Lord's will. However, pain engulfs you to the point where you don't want to hear any of it anymore. You run  away from God. Sometime later--for some people can be moments for others days., or even longer---you feel ashamed and guilty because of what has happened. All that time God is waiting for you to come back to Him. He waits with arms spread wide.
