I had my copy of "Warriors Don't Cry" signed by it's author Melba Beals. She was one of the "Little Rock Nine", a group of Black students who were accepted into Little Rock Arkansas during the school integration during 1957. She endured so much pain and manevolence as she was harrased by white students,parents,police men(even the govenor of Arkansas sent the nation guard to keep them from entering the school.When I met Melba, she left me speechless and I was just in awe of all that she and her companions had done to change the world.Has anyone here grown from such a difficult experience and ultimately triumphed( brought you closer in your relationship with God and your true character)

There is no one here who's story can even begin to compare to that of Melba Beals. How fortunate you are to have met her.
Nothing in my life has come easily, but then again, I have had no overwhelmingly difficult things to endure, either. Collectively, every little experience has taught me a lesson and shaped me into the person I am today.

Honestly, I think we all have the opportunity to become stronger in our faith through every day occurrences. It seems that those who DO something are more likely to grow than those who choose inaction. Very rarely do we regret actions we have taken, but we frequently regret NOT taking action.
I have grown in my Christian walk through many struggles. I have lost many loved ones in my life, and now, my husband of 22 years has been diagnosed with an incurable cancer. He has a great attitude, and has witnessed to many lost patients that did not have the strength of Christ to carry them.

Heartbreak has been my biggest step toward God I would say. God was the only one that could heal that pain.

Why should strength be defined as a relationship with god?
