When I was about four, I accepted the Lord as my Saviour in my parents bedroom with my mother. My father wasn't saved at the time, and my mother eventually did lead him to the Lord. The following years with my father were a little uneasy. We got along and loved each other, but there were a few things I ws uncomfortable about. He would usually call me and my brother down to watch a scary movie with him, and that was VERY unhelpful to me as a child. When I was about ten, my father had a heart-attack. When the ambulance came, the paramedics told my mother he had a mild heart attck, and that he should be fine. However, when we went to the hospital (I had brought my favorite stuffed animal to give to him) the doctor/secretary took my mother outside of the room and talked to her. She had tears i her eyes. When my brother and I heard the news, we started to cry too. It turns out, he didn't make it. The Lord helped me in that time, my father was a REAL one of a kind dad, he taught me about slavery and other things about Africans that I wouldn't learn in school. He introduced me to jazz. He taught me about art and hip-hop and his childhood. I wasn't sure HOW I would go on. After all, I had loved my father with all my heart the whole ten years of my life. He always knew how to cheer me up...and, on top of that, my school musical/play was coming up. I was sad at first, but when I thought of where he was, and how his suffering was gone (he had something wrong with his kidneys/bowels, and he had torn up his knees falling on a cement step wile moving us in. I loved the Lord and trusted Him with my losses ever since that fateful, shocking, GOOD FRIDAY. I had struggled for about a month not short after looking at porn, but, the Lord took that desire away from me, and now it is easy to say no to it. It doesn't look attractive or interesting to me anymore. I thank the Lord so much for what He's done in my life. He also gave me a wonderful brother who has alays ben my hero and probably always will be. God provided me with a wonderful caring mother, and a church that is like my family. The private Christian school I attend is also like my family, but my closest teacher is moving far away. I'm just praying the Lord will bring another woman as wonderful as her into my life.
