The Purple Book

I remembered 2016 as my worst year ever. My marriage was rocky, my work behavior was poor and lousy, my christian life was declining. I didn't know what to do. I needed guidance, reassurance and comfort. Lots of comfort. I remembered going to National Bookstore almost everyday, get the same book and read through the pages and cry. I couldn't afford to buy that book because I was so broke. I was living alone in a place where only a few people know me. I had to pay for my rental, the internet and electric bills, car and loan. I have a lot of things going on in my mind and I couldn't open up to people because I wasn't ready to hear what they have to say.

Someone with a kind heart offered to buy me this book. I know she didn't have much but she knew how much I wanted this. Although she, too, had her own world war III going on inside her heart and mind, she had become such an encouragement to me during my difficult time. And I will be forever thankful to this lady. My 2016 may be the worst year ever, but God made sure my 2017 was a two thumbs up!
