We Need Jesus

Chapter Three - We Need To Talk

Amy's favorite subject was English. She was a really good writer and she believed that it was a form of self expression, especially to her. She kept at least six diaries about a lot of stuff going on in her life, including the stuff she liked, like flowers, school,etc.

The English teacher, Mrs Moore, said, 'Good morning students!' She didn't even give them the chance to chorus , 'Good morning Mrs Moore' before she started to say, ' Today, I want us to do something a little different. Instead of writing the usual 500 word essay, we will write about something that is very important to someone we really care about!'

Some of the kids groaned but Amy beamed. She finally had the opportunity to write about a real person. She'd done some at home, but she had never done any in school, so she was excited about the prospect.

But who was she gonna write about? The first person she thought about was her mom, but she figured the most important thing to her mom right now was staying alive, and she didn't really want her teacher to know about that. Amy thought it was too personal to share with anyone apart from her close friends. Well, if she had any. Sure, she had friends. But they weren't close to her. They were only friends with her because she was popular. She didn't have any other friends because her popular "friends" always chased everyone else away. They didn't believe in 'mixing with the nerds and weirdos'.

So Amy just wrote about her aunt, Miranda. Amy used to visit her aunt almost every day when she was little. She was really close to her. Until her aunt started going to church with Mindy and tried to convince Amy's mom to start coming and bringing Amy. Amy's mom stopped going to their house so frequently with Amy. That was because she had tried going to church once before but she found it extremely boring, and she really didn't believe in this God everyone was talking about.

Amy then thought that the most important thing to her was God, so she started writing, '

Something Important to Someone You Care About

The person I am the closest to is my aunt, and she really loves God and going to church.
Personally, I don't know what the hype about God  is. I just don't understand. I mean, scientifically, humans were formed from apes, so what's this about God creating humans?
Well, that's beside the point.
My aunt goes to church regularly with her daughter and my cousin, Mindy. She believes that God is all-powerful. She believes he doesn't sleep. She believes he doesn't eat. She believes he is always watching over us, protecting us from evil. She believes that no matter what, God loves us all. Even when we don't even believe he exists.'

That's when Amy started to think. Could there really be a God who was totally powerful, who totally didn't get tired and who we should totally trust? Now you're thinking crazy. Just like how Mindy thinks. Just focus. Concentrate.

'I don't know if that is exactly true, but I know that it means a lot to my aunt and she means a lot to me.' and that is how Amy ended her essay.

She turned it in to Mrs Moore. Mrs Moore smiled at Amy and Amy returned the smile. Mrs Moore liked Amy because she was a really nice girl and she was a good writer, but she didn't like the fact that Amy wasn't a Christian, or at least into religion. Mrs Moore was a hardcore Christian. She knew that not everyone believed in God, but she just didn't understand how anyone could actually think that humans came from apes, and there was no life after death, and everything that happened in life was by chance.

Amy said bye to Mrs Moore and then she headed to her math class.

Mrs Moore started reading through all the essays. She had gone through three and started on Amy's. She read it and she was surprised. She was going to have to call Amy in during her free period. She could spare some minutes from Reading class. And luckily, she knew when all of her students' free periods were.
