Dear JY friends, I was reading through many mails these days. Anita has a problem...Sheril too...and many are having desert experience(DE). I too was having DE.By the way, I am a young JY from Dodoma,Tanzania.My name is Fr.Simon Nellikunnel working in a technical school in Tanzania. This year in the school we had a lot of problems of teacher committing suicide, two teachers suddenly resigning, another worker dying of cancer, wife of one teacher died suddenly,our truck meeting with an accident etc....Apparently all these are natural events which are out of our control.I was asking the question why these things happen to me? I do not get any answer as such. But what I was reflecting was that when we are dry and useless, God is making use of us to reveal His new plans to us.Through troubles God prepares us to do greater things and makes us strong.So suffering is a time to gain grace from God.Through faith,hope,thanks giving, praise and surrender to God we will be able to over come our troubles. I hope this sharing can help someone. You are welcome to have your reactions. Yours friend, Simon Nelli Find the one for you at Yahoo! Personals http://personals.yahoo.com
