we can read between the lines of her short story and know that her burdens were many.To walk away, leaving worldly possessions behind. She had the Faith and Courage to trust in God. How many others who have been in similar circumstances took the wrong road. Remember you are loved, you are special, and you are never alone. There is Hope with prayer, and in a mysterious way we will know that the very depths of our distress will bring us grace and insight. God does not impose suffering on us for anything we have done, as a punishment, it is only because we are part of the human race, and suffering is only part of being human. |
THE
YEAR WAS 1986 AND I KNEW I HAD TO KILL MY HUSBAND
OR
HE WAS GOING TO KILL
ME
OR ONE OF MY 2 CHILDREN .
BEING
PREGNANT AT THE TIME, I WENT TO MY ROOM
AND
BEGAN TALKING TO GOD ASKING WHY???
I
WAS SO TIRED AND WEARY!! I PICKED
UP
THE BIBLE AND IT FELL OPEN TO THE VERSE
"
I WILL
GO
AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU"
I
THEN WENT TO SLEEP AND WOKE UP BEFORE DAYLIGHT .
I
GOT THE BOYS READY
AND
QUIETLY AS MICE WE SLIPPED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE;
I
HAD A CHILD ON EACH
HIP
AND A BIG 6 MONTHS BELLY TO MATCH .
IT
STARTED TO RAIN HARD!! I LOOKED AT THE
SKY
AND SAID GOD; IS THIS THE PLAN??
GREAT
THE KIDS GET PNEUMONIA ON TOP OF
EVERY
THING ELSE !!
THEN
THE RAIN DRIED UP LIKE SOMEONE CUT
THE
WATER OFF AND
A
RAINBOW COME ACROSS THE SKY;
A
RED CAR PASSED US WITH A LADY IN IT SHE
TURNED
AROUND AND CAME BACK TO US ;
SHE
STOPPED AND ASKED "CAN I HELP YOU LADY ?"
I
SAID WE NEED TO GET TO A SHELTER IN DOWNTOWN
FOR
ABUSED WOMEN AND
CHILDREN;
HER ANSWER WAS "I WORK THERE,
AND
I MADE A WRONG TURN THIS MORNING!! "
IF
THERE'S ANYONE IN THE WORLD WHO CANT SEE
GODS'
HANDS ON THAT
SITUATION
THEN THEY ARE BLIND BEYOND BELIEF;
GOD
HAS HELPED ME THROUGH MANY
WEARY
TIMES SO TO HIM I WILL CLING TILL I LAY THIS LIFE DOWN.
FOR
WHAT SHALL A MAN PROFIT IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS SOUL??
MAY
GOD BLESS YOU WITH PEACE JOY AND LOVE
YOUR
SISTER IN CHRIST LOVE ALBA
