Topic: Uncles/Aunts (04/17/08)
Sitting in the warm barley lit stairway. Recalling the moments before , I can still here the screaming and the slam of the door.I can hear crying the despartion in her voice as she talk on the phone . Ok yeah hurry she repeild . It felt like hours before help was on the way. I sat on the stairway wondering when will it end. When will we find a better way. God she does the best that she can. She make sure were feed. Sometimes she does things that she doesn't want to do to feed us , Lord can you help.A knock at the door I stood up and there was the only one who could help. She knew the way. Auant Chris I shouted as I leaped off the steps.A smile spreaded across her face. Her protective arms wrapped around me . She ask me in a low tone to go to my room while she speaks with my mom. I returned to the stairway and took a sit. I could hear the longing in her voice for something or someone to help find a better way. My auant began to speak and words that floewed like a river of everlasting water.The despartion in mothers voice had melted away as my auant talked about this Jesus. How she said he saved her and that she was going through but Jesus loved her and she trust him. I burst down the stairway standing there looking around . Girl what do you want my mother snapped . I want Jesus rolled off my tounge.I was listening I confessed . Tears rolling down my face I knew at that moment He could heal our pain more important He could heal my pain.I wonder could this Jesus take away my thoughts of abuse.Take me to Him I was thinking. She read my thoughts and began to speak words of encouragment and life .Then she said He wanted me and chose me before my mother womb. I guess the puzzled look on face gave it away . She took me to His word to show me that she wasn't pulling my leg.I kept thinking were is He . She told me how to get to Him.She told me to bow my head and speak from my heart.I could hear her to this day saying repeat these word after me.I WANT YOU JESUS AND I BELEIVE IN YOU JESUS.LORD I WANT YOU AND BELIEVE YOU. LORD PLEASE COME INTO MY HEART AND STAY.I'AM A SINNER AND I NEED YOU TO FORGIVE MY SINS.I opened my eyes with tears streaming down my face. My body was trembling and she reached out with those protective arms and said welcome to the family.

A lovely message here - I could feel the sincerity and passion. There were several spelling errors - try using a program with a spell checker to help you in this area.

For me this is a rel tear-jerker. Your story has taken me back to my old home town, my own people. I don't care about the spelling mistakes and the grammar. I just love you and your aunt and your mother who has to sacrifice herself to feed her family. As I pray for your country, so I pray for each of you - that Jesus will bring you all to a better way. God bless you.

A touching saga. What a testimony to your aunt that you were sure she knew the way. How precious the words, "I want Jesus." Thank you for sharing this story. :)
