A story of faith.

I just read this story and felt troubled and moved. Not troubled by this woman's faith, but by the reality that none of us is free from the possibility that this kind of suffering could happen us too. But I also feel moved and challenged by the depth of her faith. Could I be like that, I don't know? I guess I will never know unless I am taken to that place, but I do know this, that my God is her God and I am in His loving hands no matter where life takes me. This put my own challenges into perspective and I pray that this kind of thing will not happen, but if it does I also pray that I too would respond like this.
