Discernment ...

Faith and reason are like the two wings of birds, one does not exclude the other. Discernment.

Faith often reveals to us what our true beliefs are. I'm going to tell you a surprising testimony, which made me a strong, mature woman with a faith above my reason.

4 decades ago my first daughter was born, I was a very young woman chronologically speaking, in the 20s.

When she was born it was prematurely, she weighed only one kilogram. He spent two months in an incubator. The first month I acted according to my logical reasoning, reasoning that made me think that my daughter would not survive because there were days that she was very bad and the clinical life indicators diagnosed that she would not live. I was emotionally devastated, very sad, there was literally one day that I cried so much that I was lying on the floor of the clinic, discarded, without strength to move on.

I raised my head and next to me was a religious image owned by the clinic. At that moment I spoke to the Supreme and told him give me strength to cope with this situation, I accept and surrender to your will. If your will is to take my daughter, who am I not to accept it. If you allowed me to have my daughter only for one month, I feel grateful for this month that I was able to at least see her. And if your will is to keep her alive, I promise to honor and thank you always to be a mother every day of my life. Within a few days my daughter started to get better, and a month later she was discharged.

Today my daughter is a beautiful, healthy woman. Faith I wake up when that day of crying so much the reason laid me down on the floor without strength to move on.

Years ago in the first oil production industry in my country I worked with a great friend, who professed the Christian faith and he was diagnosed with colon cancer, he had surgery, and I do not accept for any reason neither chemotherapy, nor radiotherapy, in his belief he said that he would heal.

Today, Aldo, lives in Switzerland and is about 16 years old cancer free. I have no doubt that miracles do exist. I believe that faith is believing wishing for something to happen, that it is intangible.

We already have a written destiny.

My mother, a wise woman of 87 years, still lives and always tells me: "when it's your turn, even if you take off; when it's not your turn, even if you put on".

I keep having hard and difficult moments, sometimes inexplicable things happen in our life, beyond human reason. I think we need both in perfect balance.

I still haven't lost the fear of fear, I don't know if it's faith, positivism, but I'm sure that faith without a work is useless. With love and determination, we can face any challenge.
