A series of unfortunate events

Oh yes, I admit it. Jo isn’t always so mighty. This day is by far, the worst of 2006. Feels like I’ve been punched in the face, not once but twice…Dragged along the rough tarred road, trampled upon and left for the vultures. Bloody and helpless.

All that I remember are the words of my Saviour as He hung there, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Well of course, I know that He hasn’t forsaken me. He never will. These dark moments can be so tempting sometimes – A convenient excuse to accuse Him of not loving us, of not answering our prayers.

I think I know Him a little better than that. Just like how He has emerged gloriously from His dark and painful moments, I too, will have my share of a triumphant and well-deserved victory one day.

As the song of the late Aliyah goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, just pick yourself up and try again…”
