Unknowingly, my feet took me again to the old chapel.
I let my tears flow freely and fell down my knees.
"Jasmin…" a sweet voice said from behind me. I knew it was Sister Ema. I turned to her and hugged her tightly. "Whatever you're going through is carefully planned by the Lord. Don't give up and remain faithful to Him."
"Then…why is He making me suffer this much?"
"Shhh…I know something good is waiting for you behind all your troubles."
