// Real Stories // Umas //

My name is Umas and I am a Christian. Though I’ve been through so many adversities, such as self-doubt, the loss of my father, and financial issues, I am still having peace in my heart. What is real to me in Christian faith is the peace from God. It keeps me persevering in hardship and strengthens my mind. I wrote a poem to better describe how real I feel:

我的名字是Umas，是基督徒。即便我經歷過許多困難，像是自我懷疑，喪父之痛，及財務困難，我心仍存有平安。從上帝來的平安對我來說是真實的。祂能使我堅忍難處和增強心智。我寫了以下詩來表達這分真實感：

Thought I was far from grace For those battles I had to fight alone Tried hard to hide my face Filled with regrets and no solace

Sailing through thousand storms Wishing to reach the shore But the waves were too strong Ship about to wreck and ready to drown

But His hands reaching out to me Filled me with warm embrace In Him, I’ve found strength and peace Turning troubled waters into a quiet place
