When I was in my early twenties I saw a young man with whom others
said I had a lot in common. They were referring to our childhoods.
Many thought I should talk to him (romantically). I made plans to
one day speak with him. However, my plans were to interview him in
order to find out the reason for our visible differences. He smiled
all the time-I did not I was bitter. I was angry at the people who
did not raise me. I hated being around them. I wanted them to
apologize for not loving me, not supporting me, not wanting me to
be born, and punishing me because I was alive. Not him He walked
around melodiously singing everywhere he went-always smiling I was
so exhausted by the wounds I refused to allow God to heal that I
could only muster a smile for my son. Our differences confused me.
I always wanted to ask him, "Why?" then, "How?" How was it
(according to people) that we had lived such similar childhoods,
and become different adults. Why wasn't he wounded? Why wasn't he
angry? Where did he get the strength to smile and laugh? Why wasn't
he bitter and miserable? I wanted answers, but I didn't want to
invade his happiness with my sadness. I didn't want him to catch
what I had. I didn't want anyone to feel like I felt-defeated and
enslaved by uncontrollable torrents of emotions. Rather, I wanted
what he had. Instead of asking him, I decided to ask God. Yielding
my pain, I set out on a journey: armed with a Bible, a pen, a
notebook, and a song-always a song. This was the beginning of my
freedom; A New Way of life.
