Uplifted Spirit Despite Tragic Events (Yvette Cade)


Yesterday Oprah Winfrey featured a story about Yvette Cade. I was excited to find out that someone from the Washington DC/Maryland area was being featured on the top rated talk show in America. I wasn't excited about the circumstances that helped Yvette Cade get on the show.

For those of you that don't know, Yvette Cade's estranged (now divorced) husband, Roger Hargrave, walked into the T-Mobile store she was working at and proceed to pour gasoline on her body. After Yvette ran outside, Roger proceeded to set her on fire. He was recently convicted for this heinous crime (although prison time will never equal the amount of therapy and pain Yvette must endure).

During the interview, Ms. Cade showed strength despite her circumstances. It was apparent that she has a strong faith in God. Although the road may be rough, Ms. Cade showed that she will not allow her current situation to hold her hostage.

You go sista! You are in my prayers!
