Ask yourself what impact God has had in your life and what impact you have had on the lives of those around you. Whom, in all honesty, would you trade places with? In my life, I have witnessed two of my brothers rendered quadriplegic, the death of my brother, Stephen, and lived in the memory of my brother, David, who passed before I was born. Two sisters diagnosed with breast cancer, the passing of my father and a brother-in-law. A divorce that tore my family apart like a tornado. My losses have left me wondering about life's lessons. What is it, Lord that I am supposed to understand? Loss brings sadness and sometimes despair but it must be reconciled. Reconciliation so one's light can shine with wisdom, understanding and, most importantly, compassion. You must have Spiritual Freedom to truly, understand that you are not in control. At times, I have felt like a witness, observing the struggles of my loved ones. I was a compassionate observer offering love and support. Through God's grace, both grandiose and inspiring, I've written these words about my struggles, silent and personal. Life is extraordinary and full of promises, perhaps it has been God's way of preparing me for a more authentic and compassionate way to live my life. Hope and perseverance are my greatest allies
