I wasn’t surprised when they gave me the news that Alina hadn’t made it, but of course it was still difficult to hear the confirmation. At that moment, in the midst of the confusion, I felt something that is difficult to explain. I’ve always known the verse in the Bible in which Jesus promises to give us “peace which passes understanding.” I always thought this was a wonderful passage in theory, but in that moment I actually felt a SUPERNATURAL PEACE. Of course I was shocked, sad and crying, but I wasn’t inconsolable. Right then I clearly felt that along with this pain and sadness I also received a measure of strength and peace so that I could face it.
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)
