Miracles can happen!

A few weeks ago, a student was telling me a talk about a turning point in her life. Actually, it was a very recent, fresh & major t so turning point. She was at a night club on the weekend, a week or so before this talk, and her mobile phone was stolen! 

You need to understand that this young lady had been very addicted to her phone. I had seen her using it in lessons & she'd had the 'yellow card' treatment from me. 

I often observed her, walking down the corridors, head down & utterly engrossed in cyberworld...

Of course, it was a big shock for her, and I assumed that she'd automatically got another one. 'No', she replied. Was it because she couldn't afford one? No.

She then went on to tell me (& the class) that after 3-4 days without a phone, she suddenly discovered a new sense of freedom. She found that she had a lot more time...to do other things! She started to live again :-) It is a minor miracle these days!

My reaction was 'Wow! My prayers have been answered!' - it was meant as a joke...but really, I am greatly impressed that a young person can just walk away from such an addiction. It is not easy.

Since the talk, I haven't seen her with a mobile phone. I sincerely hope that she continues with her new-found freedom. It is a very real battle to walk in that freedom.
