Prologue
I felt that horrible feeling in my throat. You know that feeling. That feeling where you want to cry, but you know you can't, so instead you feel like there's something stuck in your throat and if you let it go, your tears will fall like the water on Niagara Falls. The trees swayed from the slightly strong wind, the block after the next one was barely visible from all the rain. Then, I saw them...the ones who hurt me.
" Father, They're there...I don't want to see them. I know that they did shouldn't matter, but I'm still hurt. It's kind of stupid, I know, but I feel as though they're still here." I mumbled as I wiped away the tears that quickly raced down to the corners of my mouth. I wanted to be alone so I ran away to the a small park nearby. When I saw they were already looking at me and giggling, I ran away and I began to yell questions to the sky,
"I don't understand why they did that! What did I do?! All I wanted was to make friends! Why did everyone hate me?! Why can't I just be me? Why won't people let me be? Why did my friends leave me? Was I just not good enough? WHY DID THEY ABANDON ME?" I continued sobbing and finally letting out those feelings I couldn't let out 2 years ago when all this happened. With every word came a drop of sorrow, and soon I had a river. I have never felt so free to speak. Then I felt something I've never felt,
"They may have abandoned you, but now you have found me. Melissa, you're beautiful. You're more than good enough; you are priceless. You are my daughter; I created you. I even know the exact number of hairs on your head because I made you with care. I made you out of love." I felt His mercy and compassion just pour over me like the rain from above.
"Melissa, just remember, I have always loved you, I love you, and I will always love you. Trust me, many blessings will come. Just follow me."
I take a moment, and I just say, "Even though I can't see you, I will follow you because I love you too, Father. Just take me where you want to go. I am subject to your plan. I want to help."
