God never failed to amaze me

Still stressed about a fight with my brother-in-law last night. I woke up trying to think positively on life. I saw a note on my table when I arrived in the office. The note says that I should visit the HRD (Human Resource Director) for important matters. When I arrived at the office, I was told that I should finish my master's degree next year because our school will be subject to accreditation and the number one requirement is to have faculty members that are MA holders. I was worried because at the moment, I don't have enough to finance my studies. I walked aimlessly when I received a call from my mother. My father died after suffering for two years on chronic renal disorder. There are times when problems come to your life like street lights being lighted after a brown-out; and today, I had this time. After I learned about my father's death, I also learned that my in-laws received a notice of foreclosure for the house (where we currently live). I didn't cry. I don't know why but somehow I was thankful that finally my father's pain has finally ended. I prayed quietly asking HIM to guide me on what to do. Before I left the office, our department head gleefully reported that my scholarship was approved. And when I arrived home, the lawyer who was helping my in-laws advised that since I have a good record in the HDMF (Housing Development Mortgage Fund), I can assume the house so it does not have to be foreclosed.

My way of thinking, although it gets over-shadowed at times is that when one door closes another opens. You have proven this in a sense. I am glad your father is no longer suffering also, his wonderful loving memory will live with you forever. Good luck with your future as it sounds like your path is getting greener.

I am glad about how things are going because God has been with you but I also am interested in what happened to you and your brother. I think that as a follower of Christ that we be convicted to apologize even if it was not our fault. It may not be easy but that's what I felt before and it gets easier... believe me. We shouldn't let our pride or ego get in the way of the holy spirit trying to tell us what is right. There can be misunderstandings... yes but that is why we need to apologize because sometimes we need to come to terms to even understand both ends :D I'd have fights with my sister back then but our conviction to Christ tells us to appreciate each other and now we do. It's about constant change to glorify the Lord. Hope you get to talk to your brother and I hope I helped :D

I discussed my problem with my brother-in-law in this link: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussion/2403014.aspx?p=2 From there, you'll understand why our fight bothers me and why it is difficult for me to talk with him.
