Straight to the point...it is not easy out there...
Point is I have been trying to figure out why I have been spared from accident & because I have been consumed with all that I forgot how to live, strange as it is its true. I have been asking God "why" instead of asking Him for wisdom to move on from it all. Now a month later, with me neglecting my growth in life & finding my way through this spiritual journey I am realising that...I almost gave up! or did I?
ha ha ha as cliche as it sounds it is true that once you realise that there is more to life than waking up & following the daily routine. as soon as you do realise there is a lot of test that comes along with it...you are tested in every way imaginable, in your work, relationships & even FAITH...
I think I have found a way to keep & strentghen my faith...its called MEDITATION! and my motto to keep me going in any situation is " BE STILL & KNOW" words that Russ Simmomds keeps on repeating in all his twitter messages, I first thought,"what is this man on about?"
I realised that he was on point, BE STILL & KNOW is one of the verses from the bible(embarrasingly I still have to find it) but thanks to my school days in my catholic school days the hymn suddenly resurfaced...God knows I want Him to walk with me in my journey, I know He is I just have to BE STILL & KNOW...I pray that this approach will not let me wallow in the same darkness I have been lately.

Katy, I think it's it's normal to ask why. We ask why when we are spared from devastating pain; and we ask why when we are not spared.
When I was going thru a bad patch in life, I asked God Why. Why is this happening to me? Why don't you take me out of this situation. And while I could appreciate that life does have challenges and lessons, I also thought why choose me for this lesson? Why not give me an easier lesson?
It was only later that I realised that the bad patch was necessary to get me away from wasting my life doing things that had no personal meaning. You know, career success as defined by other people. Socialising for convenience, with people who are not important in my life, instead of spending as much time as I can with people I love.
And yes, I also learnt that there is more to life than routine. And that life is SHORT and I should not squander any moment of it doing things that had no overall meaning in my life.
So being spared from the accident gives you the chance to live a life of meaning ( as defined by you, not other people). To be the authentic you, and to enjoy the second chance in life.
P.S. It's Miss D above. Logged on with another email addres.
