I had prayed and when nothing was answered l just stopped<br />

praying! Then l blamed God for all my problems and hid<br />

behind my job. Someone once told me l lost myself and l was<br />

living people’s lives instead of mine. I never went back to see<br />

her. So when I joined Alabastron I was hoping to sort out my<br />

life, find the missing link that had made my life crumble.<br />

and nowhere<br />

in my wildest<br />

dreams would<br />

l expect this to<br />

be the core of<br />

my problems<br />

for Him in my life.<br />

One of the things I realized during<br />

the program was that my<br />

relationship with God was not<br />

right (and nowhere in my wildest<br />

dreams would l expect this to be<br />

the core of my problems).<br />

I had put him aside after going to<br />

campus and slowly,<br />

I stopped experiencing His love<br />

and favor. I did things my way.<br />

Yes l went to church once in a<br />

while but l never acknowledged need<br />

My experience during the 2weeks was powerful. A roller<br />

coaster of emotions. The first week was tough!!! I wanted to<br />

run away at some point…!! But that was my turning point.<br />

Hahaha! But I am also very grateful to my friend Sally for<br />

following up and pushing me to do this program, l would not<br />

have made it to class. I had a lot going on but l managed to<br />

put everything aside to be there for myself.<br />

Right now, I can see. I can breathe. I have this peace that<br />

l cannot explain. I feel like I am in control of MY life. I can<br />

choose what is important and what is not, l can influence, I<br />

can enjoy my SELF. I am happy. I am living life, not just being.<br />

I make decisions that are healthy for me. I chose what to let<br />

into my heart.<br />
