Today I started reading the book, “Led by Faith, Rising from the Ashes of the Rwanda Genocide”. It is a story about Immaculée Ilibagiza who survived the Rwanda genocide by hiding in a pastor’s tiny bathroom with 7 other starving women for 91 terrifying days. Her first book was called, “Left to Tell” in which she highlights the horrific details of her experience. However, through it all she clung to her faith in God. Not only that, but she found the strength and grace to forgive those neighbors and friends who murdered her family and many other neighbors and friends. This is a topic of her second book. In the introduction, she wrote, “As I stumbled through the aftermath of the holocaust, I learned that finding the Lord is not enough; we have to keep Him in our heart always. We need to constantly discover God anew, trust Him in all things great and small, and make sure that He remains part of our daily life.” Those words truly resonated with me. A big part of the reason I write this blog almost every day is because I know how important it is to remind myself to keep my eyes on God – in gratitude, trust, love, and faith.

I Found God today in an amazing story from a faithful woman.
