Kristina sat in her room, literally frozen in her seat and numb. She tried to make sense of everything. She had what seemed like the perfect life.
But, then all at once it shattered into unrepairable pieces. Her precious baby boy was gone. She'll never be able to hold this beautiful breath of life again.
She just couldn't understand how someone that young could get so sick. He was innocent and gentle.
Kristina didn't feel like living anymore. She hardly ate anything. She stood alone and apart from her husband and other children. Her marriage was breaking apart.
Kristinas parents and their church were praying for a miracle. One day, the Pastor asked a member of his congregation to go and see her.
Kristina was reluctant at first to see her. But then, she agreed. The girl painfully explained how she lost her beautiful twin girls in a tragic fire.
"How can you possibly have such strong beliefs after that happening?" Kristina asked. The young girl looked at her and smiled.
"The world is an imperfect place." She said. "But as believers we need to know that God will help us. He helped me and gave me strength. He will for you."
The two women talked the rest of the afternoon, and slowly became friends. Kristina agreed to go and talk to a counselor.
She slowly began to start the process of healing. She began to attend church. There was happiness once again in her household.
One year later, God blessed her with twin boys!
