"God Is The Glue For Me And You"...Slickchick :)

Hi USM, I just wanted to share a little about my life with all of you here. I was born with a cleft lip and palate, and had my first of seven major operation's when i was only 2 month's old. When i was just 7 year's old, I lost my father, who was a Long Haul Truckdriver, to Tiberculosis. I was out playing with a little neighborhood friend, and realized i needed to use the potty. I went in to our trailor, and noticed right away, that my Daddy wasn't in his bed, because the side of it faced our hallway, i guess he liked it that way, because he had to be in it quite a bit, and wanted to see as much of us as he could while he was in it. And I knew my Mother had just made him a sandwhich, and had walked right up the street to my Aunt's (her sister's) trailor.So when i didn't see him in his bed i called to him, as i seen the bathroom door was cracked just a bit, so i pushed it a little farther, and seen him clutching the toilet, and relized he was Hemmoriging, i had seen my Grandmother run and get him Ice for this many time's before, so i knew what it was.

I quickly ran out of the trailor, and down the street to my Aunt's trailor, where i found my mother on the phone with his mother, my Grandma. I yelled to her and my Aunt to come quick, Daddy was hemmoriging again !! I got the usual panicked response from them both. What !!! You better not be lying to us !!! Then we jumped into my Aunt's VW Bug, and she about flipped it over, trying to get down to our trailor so fast.They went running in, and my mother immediately started screaming to the top of her lung's, as my Aunt did was as well. My brother's were there as well, and they we're crying. I walked out on the porch, and saw my Aunt sitting Indian style, in the middle of our road, rocking back and forth crying. It was then that i looked to my right in our yard, and in that instant, i knew that Jesus had come to take my Daddy home, because i saw him, well i never seen his face, but i still knew who he was. He had his arm's out stretched, with his palms facing upward's, as if he was ready to carry something...or someone. He had a brilliant and calming white light coming from behind him, he had on a set of clothe's, much like the one's in picture's of him today, and i also noticed, his feet were not on the ground, just above it. And at about that time, my Aunt screamed out, still in the road. SO i turned to look at her for a split second, and when i turned back, just as quickly as he appeared to me, he was gone.

By this time, the EMT people where there, to collect my Daddy's body, so we all walked up the road to my Aunt's trailor, because my Mother didn't wan't us to be there when they took him out. But as we were walking up the hill to her trailor, i turned and looked back, and seen them bringing my Daddy's body out covered in a white sheet. The next day everyone was gathered at my Aunt's trailor, mourning the loss of my Daddy, and my Mother, and Grandparent's were concerned, because i hadn't cried yet, they all said I must be in shock, I heard someone say. And i'm sure i was, to a certain degree, being so young.

After some time came to pass, my daddy appeared in my Grandmother (My Mom's Moma) kitchen window. She lived about one road over from the Cemetary where he was buried. He told her Jessi,i'm in in Heaven singing with the Angel's, and would not be back on Earth for anything, but to let us all know he was happy, and he loved us all. She said he had on the same clothe's we laid him to rest in, and that she tried to speak back to him, but just couldn't. My Grandpa came in from the grocery store, and found her sitting in her chair at the table, with her dish rag still in hand, still looking up at the window, when he got there.

Then after awhile my Mother married my Step-father, and we moved to Waycross Georgia, where my Step-father's Mother had a home there, for us to live in. Not long after this my stepfather began to molest me, unknown to anyone, from the age of 7 til about the age of 13.So i couldn't rest at home because of this, and having to worry about when i was gonna have to be alone with him, and i couldn't rest at school either, because of being made fun of, because of the way i was born. There were many day's i would get off of the bus heart broken over the cruel thing's, some of these kid's would say. And right after my mother's marriage to my step-father, my Grandparent's (my daddy's mom and dad), and a few other family member's, were sitting around discussing my mother's marriage at my Grandparent's home, and all of a sudden, they said that my daddy's picture flew off of thier fire mantle, and landed face down, on the other side of the livingroom, as if it were thrown by someone. They stopped talking, went over, and picked his picture up, and commented on it doing that. Put it back where it was on the mantle, and proceeded to talk about thier marriage again. And as they did, my daddy's picture came off of the fire mantle again, and floated across the room this time (as if it were being carried by someone) and dropped on the other side of the room again, face down. I didn't learn of this right away, as i was so young, but when i did hear about it finally, i knew just what it was. My Daddy was trying to tell them something was bad wrong, i believe he was trying to warn them about what was being done to me.

A few more year's passed, and i married my oldest daughter's father, at the age of 18. And we had our little girl. Not long after this, we went to live in Tennesee with my husband's Mother for awhile, with the baby. Well that didn't last long, we had our issue's there, and we left to come back to Greenville South Carolina, where we were initially living. But before we left, my husband then, got mad at his Mother, and threw his entire paycheck at her. So here we were, in Tennesee, with our 4 month old Daughter, on formula, with no money, and no way back to Greenville. I had some possesion's with me that i hocked to get her some formula, and to get us a cheap motel for the night, so that we could get family to wire us some money to get back home on. Well on our journey home, we were coming down a mountain with nothing but rock's on one side, and a BIG drop off of cliff's on the other. And we had a big 18 wheeler come up behind us so close that when i looked back i couldn't see nothing but the grill on his truck. He kept coming up right on us, blowing his big air horn, and backing away, then he would do it again. He had us scared to death, it was like that Dennis Weaver movie, and then all of a sudden, it stopped, and the big truck was gone, with no where to pull off. We were definately puzzled, as to where he could have gone. When we finally did get down the mountain to the first rest stop, we stopped to make the baby some formula. By this time we were on fumes in the truck, as far as any gas. And out of nowhere, this woman approached me in the rest stop, and said to me, you need some money don't you sweetie ? I said no mam, ty, but we are ok, she said yes you do, here, and she shoved 5 dollar's into my hand, and made me take it. I thanked her as my husband was coming out of the restroom, and when i told him about it, he wanted to thank her as well, but we couldn't find her anywhere. Looking back now, i have to say, this lady must have been an Angel, sent to us that day, when we most needed her. Well we made it just to the other side of Spartanburg County, about 40 mile's or so i'm guessing, from home, and got lost in a little town somewhere there, and we were on empty again. And i was a new mother, and had never been so far away from home, so needless to say, i was panicked, and very upset and crying at this point.We finally found the right road again, and i was bawling by this time, then all of a sudden a wonderful feeling swept through me, and in that instant, a very BIG smile came on my face. My husband also noticed this, and said to me, you were just crying a second ago, but now you are smiling, why ? I told him that i knew we were gonna be just fine, because my Daddy was riding with us, i had felt his presence. And indeed we were, we made it all that way home on empty, and had enough gas the next day to get to the gas station for more.

I could go on and on, but i am gonna stop my story here, and just say, that had God not revealed himself to me, and let me know that he IS "REAL",he "IS LOVE", and he is here for us all, at the tender age of seven. And had he not put his Guardian Angel's into my life...i don't know how i would have made it through so much pain and anguish in my life, without "GOD" and his infinate love in my life.

When it seemed my life was darkest, it was then that he held me up, and lit my path !!! He was definately the "Glue" that held me together.

And he is the "Glue", that will hold you together also, all you have to do is ask him into your heart, and "try" each day to live, as he would.

Ty friend's, i know this was a long read, but it is all true, and i just felt compelled to share it with all of you today. Much Much Love...Slickchick :)
