I have heard the name Susan Boyle... and also heard her being mentioned as the next big sensation in the UK.... but like many others I didnt give her much thought... untill now when I read that she was performing somewhere in London...

Her story is truly amazing... for one its amazing because no one, I mean actually no one, gave her a chance in life.... she was always made fun of ... she suffered brain damage when she was born and hence was ridiculed throughout school....and at 47 she was the oldest contestant for the show... and I saw the you tube video of her audition... everybody ccringed their faces when she said she wanted to be a professional singer.. and just looked on to see if they could grab some good laughs at her expense.... only to be blown away by the voice....

Isnt that the true story of human spirit? the triumph of will over circumstances? the belief that God has given every one a talent which is unique... and everybody has a role and place in life... and to think that after living a life of ridicule she is now the star in UK.... I think God just works in mysterious ways... and her story to me demonstrates what is possible in life....

but when asked about her life all that Susan Boyle said was 'she wanted to make her mother proud'.... you know what they say - sometimes parents do God's work.... it just feels bad that her mother was not alive to see her do so well....

but the strange thing is that she has 6 siblings.... and none of them were looking after her....isnt that strange?
