Shattered Windows
I am presently reading Brida by Paolo Coelho and I chanced upon this: "sometimes, God needs to shatter windows so blessings can come in." Obviously, it caught my attention. There have been a lot of instances when I felt that God shattered windows in my life only to find out that it was his way of giving me more. Looking back at my life I've seen a lot of bumps and wrong turns. A failing grade, a dispute with a friend, a misunderstanding with your parents or siblings, a broken heart, a wrong career move, the list would go on and on. But true enough, those bumps and wrong turns made me stronger, braver. It made my journey more colourful. It added spice to this thing they call life. I am pretty sure you have had your share of experiences wherein you felt God was shattering your window(s). Now that I'm in a new environment and trying to accept the harsh reality that I am out of my comfort zone, it crosses my mind that my windows are now being shattered. But it is now good to know and comforting at that, that it's God's way of giving more of His blessings.
