Wanted to share a story...

[Jer2911]

uR --

This is an amazing story and it makes me think of something that has dawned on me over the past few weeks about God's purpose for allowing these circumstances into our lives. I am beginning to strongly believe that nothing happens by mistake and that this MLC storm that many of us are dealing with does have a purpose (or multiple purposes) in our lives... The most important purpose is that this is a point in our lives where we must go through a growth and learning journey (our own -- but our MLCer must eventually stop running in order to go through that growth and learning journey as well), but another potential purpose is that by going through this ourselves we are then able to help others like you did in this story.

Many of us may never have an encounter like the one you describe, but so many of us share our stories here and I know that those shared stories have certainly helped me as I go through this. However, we should be mindful that each of us, one day, just might come across someone (a friend, co-worker, family member, or complete stranger) who has just been hit with the MLC-bomb and our experience through all of this places us in a great position to be able to provide them with support, guidance, an ear, and maybe even a shoulder to cry on.

Thanks for sharing this story :-)
