An immigrant mother in New York rebuilds her faith after divorce and cultural isolation. She returns to the Bible, skeptical at first, but experiences a spiritual conviction so powerful it changes everything. She describes it as opening a Pandora's box of deeper transformation.
Finally, when I became a mother and struggling, I was an immigrant, I didn't know the culture, I was culture shocked, I was just struggling. And then I had nothing left to do but turn to God. And I'm like, okay, well, you saved me before in New York during my divorce, maybe you can help me again. And I was treating, I didn't realize it at the time, but I was just more like scientific, like it worked then, I'll do it again. And so I was like, okay, let me start reading the Bible again. And this time I was looking at the Bible, I'm like, this time I'm poking holes in it because I just read it as like, just like a novel that you do. And now I'm just like, I'm pressing God. And in that whole process is when I was like, oh, I messed up. The conviction hit me so hard that I was on my knees and I'm like, why does this feel so different? And it's just been Pandora's box since.
