Conviction

EDITED :]

Chapter 3:

"God has a plan for all of us. It may not be easy going through you trials and tribulations but he's not going to give you something you can't handle. If he knows you cant handle it he will lessen it so you can handle it or not give it to you at all. God is a mighty God. He knows what he we want and he knows what we need." Pastor Wilson says at the end of the sermon. "Lets close with a prayer." he says and points to Mother Kilgore to end service.

"Father God in the name of Jesus. We come to you Lord to say thank you. Thank you for another day Lord. Thank you for letting us get to church another Sunday safely. Thank you for your works Lord and what your doing. We ask you to look over us as we make our way home Lord and we ask that you touch the families Lord. Make the children be obedient and the parents be examples. Touch anyone who needs prayer Lord but didn't come to the altar. In Jesus name we all say Amen."

The congregation all says Amen and then talking goes through the crowd as everyone says hello to one another.

Jess turns to me and smiles a big smile. "I seen you with that boy yesterday." she states and i raise a brow at her. "Don't try and play innocent. The hunk of man that was in your passenger seat."

"Oh Dean?" i question with a laugh. "He helped me with my car."

"Dean." Jess repeats with a smirk. "You like him." she states and i smile amused. Jess could always read me.

"I just met him." i state leaving the pew.

"So. You still like him that's why you didn't deny it. Are you going to ask him out?" she ask and i look back at her.

"No Jess he has to ask me out first."

"HA." she says very loudly pointing her finger at me. I look around the church to see if anyone herd her but their all rambling on about something or another. "I knew you liked him." she sings getting really close to my face.

"Jess!" Mary moans in annoyance. "We have already got that. She likes the man shut up."

"Yah listen to your sister." i say sticking my tongue out at her.

"I'll listen to her alright after i sock her in the jaw." Jess says waving her fist in front of her face with a goofy look.

I roll my eyes at her with a chuckle. "Daddy's waiting for me i gotta go." i say in a rush giving them hugs. I run to the car almost tripping over my heels. "Daddy you cant rush a girl in new heels." i complain. I just got these heels and have never worn them before so they hurt and I'm not that use to them.

He laughs getting into the driver seat. "Don't ware new heels when i have to be to work early."

"They matched my outfit." i say in a duh tone.

"We have to match Mark." Momma says winking at me from the passenger seat. I beam at her and nod in agreement.

.

"Evangeline i need you to take Mitch to the grocery so he can get some things for his cupcakes. He has to have them for class tomorrow." she yells form the kitchen.

"Come on Mitch." i yell up the stairs and walk to the kitchen to get money.

"He needs enough stuff to make Forty just get what ever he wants." she mumbles digging in her purse.

I nod taking the money from her. Mitch runs down the stairs with sweats and a Florida gators jersey on with flipflops and his hair a total mess. "Who dressed you?" i ask as we make our way to the car."
