We Shall Overcome Someday.....



And they lived happily ever after  .At least that is what Siya thought. Her absence from this world was supported to provide her family with the happiness they always deserved. She firmly believed that everyone’s problem will miraculously disappear with the death of their sixteen year old pregnant daughter who still could not clear her maths exam.

Little did she know that her perfect little sister had gone into severe depression and her radiant beauty had met its doom. Her parents used to cry themselves every night to sleep. Their marriage could not survive this devastating loss. They were going through a divorcé.
Siya’s decision had destroyed the family what had she done this for ?
To get away?
Her ridiculous believe had driven her to this. Her believe that she could never get her a happy ending on this planet and her presence was keeping it away from her family as well.
The real question here is how do we define a happy ending?
There is nothing know as perfect every soul is struggling at this planet. It’s like all of us are in a journey. We look ahead for a castle at the end of this grim forest. Has anyone seen the castle ?
Who knows for sure that it is going to be there?
People just have to believe in what they do, they need to trust themselves that no matter what happens. Someday everything will be happy again. They should never give up on anything, God puts us under situations which are testing, and  we cry loud that why is God so rude to us but we never think that, How can God do this, he is our heavenly Father, A father who is the kindest, the most lovable and caring. Going through the Footprints in sand I once read, ”One night a man had a dream that he was walking along a beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scenes he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.”Lord , you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me”.The Lord replied , “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trail n suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that , I carried you”.
If Siya could have holded for a while, if she could have been strong enough to believe that no matter what has happed to her, no matter what can happen to her. Her parents and her Heavenly Lord can never bother her for what she had done, because they loved her and with love comes understanding.
One bad decision spoilt not just her life, but left her family, her parents in a state that just can’t be explained. We shall overcome come, we shall overcome, we shall overcome someday,ohh deep in my heart I do believe that we shall overcome someday..........
