1 what I want you guys to get from these two points
1 I never blamed god and 2 god was their even when I didn't know it he was their through it all
so let start from the beginning: I grew up in the Baptist church, I liked the singing but mostly it was nap time, when I was 12 I joined the awanna group in church it was fun, it was just another activity for me I was finding god.
2. I lived with my mom from birth until 12 it was ok and she loved us but while I lived with her things kept happening: when I was 6, I was molested by the neighbor. He never got prosecuted, when I was 10, our house caught fire. Also I was raped by a different neighbor, he got 2 life sentences. When I was 12 I got raped by my step dad my mom knew about it and didn't tell anyone for 2 weeks it went on finally my mom said I could tell the neighbor and we went to get interviewed after we were done me and my sister went to a conference room to wait for mom
3. After a while a man and woman came in with mom the man asked "are we taking them now?" the woman said "yes" they looked at us and said "say good bye kids your mom is leaving and you are staying here" so we hugged her while we cried I mean we weren't stupid we knew what they meant she left and I would only talk to my sister Sarah I was mad I mean they took my mom!
4. hours later Ms. Holly our case manager took us to Mc Donald's to meet our aunt it took a while but we adjusted and I stopped being so sad later we found out mom got 15 years and dad got a life
6. I miss my mom every day, we aren't allowed contact with her but I know she is growing in faith because she was allowed to write us one letter we aren't allowed to write back
7. when I was 15 my aunt said when sis and I woke up on time we would go back to church, it been 3 years and up until a month or so ago when I came here because my aunt had me volunteer at the thrift store next door and MS Beth invited me here I like it I feel like I get something out of every service this is Sarah's 4th time I am so glad she came and I hope she gets something out of church to
8. I never blamed god I was taught he loved me and only brought the good in my life I was told the delve brought the bad, now I know god used these events in my life to get me to where I am today I can't wait to see where he leads me next, I love god so much he has done so much for me I am so thankful he was their guiding me it amazes me how much he loves me how he was their through it all.
9. Well that's my story I hope you take something from this if not then at least I shared it, thank you.
