The Sacred Garden

Chapter 1: Birthday Party

          

Once I turned 12 years old, I wanted to having a birthday party. I asked my mom if I could invite a few people and my mom said yes and she told me that I needed extra chairs from the basement for the guests. I said "Sure, okay I will go get them," and when I was going down to the basement my mom told me to watch out for the low pipes, and I agreed with her. When I was down in the basement I started to walk towards the basement wall I saw the chairs I reached for them and "bang!" I hit her head on a pipe and fell down.

When I opened my eyes I relive that I was still in the basement and I saw a door as white as a swan and I saw that out of the sides of the door there was tree branches as browned as a stained table, and on those branches I saw leaves as green as mints. The scary thing is that the door was not connected to any wall and was having a tree growing out of. I stood up so fast that I almost fell over again. When I reached for the doorknob and opened it, then I saw the most beautiful thing ever. It was the garden of Gethsemane I thought to myself I must be dead because only spirits can see this beautiful garden.

I started to cry because I was here alone with nowhere to go. I sat down under a tree and started to cuddle up and cry. Then, all of a sudden I saw a bright light and I thought to myself could it be, it can't be, it was Jesus. When I was looking at him he said to me "Lin why are you crying?" As I was crying I said "Well this place is beautiful but the thing is that since I am here I won't be able to see my family ever again." While I was crying I said to him "but it's actually you I haven't seen you before but, I always believed that you were there. It is good to see you." When I was thinking to myself how I got here, he answered me saying,"it is good to see you too Lin, welcome to the garden of Gethsemane." When he was done I thought to myself that if I haven't hit my head on the pipe I wouldn't have got here to see my Savior and redeemer. When I finished my thought Jesus heard something in the bushes then he knew what it was. Then he said "Come on out we will not hurt you." Then I heard a growl.
