Yesterday was a good day in many ways. One of them was that we formed a faith sharing youth group at CCM for young adults and also tasted an American style dinner after some time (thnx Joan for that). When everybody was introducing themselves, they pointed out that they were searching for this kind of thing for a long time where they can share their thought and express their belief and at the same time improve them. It seems like the group has many things to do and enjoy in coming months!
I met a student yesterday (who is from Toledo) and he is a medical student. I personally believe doctors, lawyers, rev. fathers get many inspiring stories than engineers who work for a closed community. He mentioned a story which is inspiring for many of us and I will mention that in brief. When he was visiting a patient at the hospital and there was a sick lady who was definitely going to die of some disease. It is a genetic disease and transfers from parents to child but her parents never had that disease. Unfortunately she was that one from millions and billions who gets random genetic mutation which caused the problem.
As he was telling, the lady was not interested in answering questions by doctors but was trying to say something. She was showing something from her necklace and asking whether anybody recognizes it. She was showing a picture of mother Mary and none of the doctors knew except my friend. He let her know that he knows and was talking to her. The rational of the story is that even though the disease she got was so terrible that it brings her death and got it by random gene mutation (in the worst case) she was still believing in GOD that whatever happens, she believes GOD is with her giving her courage and strength. She has made her best friends so that how can she forget him. There might have been life experience of GOD which made it part of her life to walk with GOD in any situation. I believe that is what our belief should be. It should be the experiencing of GOD and not just saying. If you ever get to experience, I believe you will never let it go. This story may be a proof for that.
A bookmark I got from Joan yesterday says this, "The only way to God is the prayer and if somebody shows you another, he/she is deceived. " - Mother Theresa.
