I have seen

I have seen a lot of things in my 31 years of life. I have seen people addicted to drugs, to sex, even to food. My first husband was addicted to any drug he could get his hands on. That was one of the many reasons we got a divorce. The other was his lack of faithfulness to me. Let me tell you, the only thing you can do for a person that is addicted is pray for them and tell them you are there for them. You can't change them. They have to be willing to change themselves. I have seen people hit rock bottom and I have seen people that hit that level pull themselves out of it. I have seen women that were so hard up for something that they pawned their own children just to get what they want. I have seen anger that was so bad that it almost killed them. I have seen people steal, lie, cheat, and hide. I have even seen a person that could not stop themselves from wanting food all the time. I watched a friend of mine blow his own head off. I walked in on a friend slicing their wrist. I have been to places that made my skin crawl and the smell made me pass out. I wish I could wash my eyes out. If I have not seen all that I have seen then I would not be the person I am today. I thank God I am still alive and able to help my friends out as much as I can. I have been there too.

Good Things For Them That Pray

I have faith in God. I pray to him everyday. Lately I have been praying for my father-in-law who is in prison for something I will not say. He is already blind in one eye. He has been like that sense the day he was born. Well now he is going blind in the other eye. He has glaucoma in that eye now. Well, as he was doing something at the prison, his eye started burning and painful. He went to the medical clinic in the prison and they just gave him some medication. Around 40-49 days later they sent him to an eye doctor on the outside, and that eye doctor told them he should have been seen the day he told them about this. If he had gotten there sooner, he would not be going blind. Well the medical clinic inside don't seem to care about anything a real doctor tells them. My father-in-law filed a complaint and submitted a case to court. I prayed that the court would take the case and the complaint would catch some ones attention. Well, good news! He head of Federal prisons is investigating the prison and the court took the case. I am so happy. I had faith in God the hole time. I was not the only one praying, my mother-in-law was praying also. I tell you, when two or more are in agreement, God will answer.
