Pretty Cool

June 15 2007

I was reading this FANTASTIC book and
something I thought was really cool jumped out at me so I figure why not put it on here.

To make a long story short there were these magnificent woods with oak trees the size of the pillars on the White House *enormous*. And this little girl loved ridding her horse through there, it was kinda like her Never-Land. A place where she didn’t have to grow up, she could forget about her past and just have fun. But one day a firestorm ripped through her Never Land, her hiding place, her fare away land that no one could find. She was to afraid to go back and see what was left, but when the day came that she felt that she had enough courage to see her lost Never Land and her not so much hiding place. She was devastated to see that all that was left was black ash. What once was colorful, shaded by huge oak trees was now just lifeless ash. As she fell on her knees she sobbed "JESUS, this is just like my life!" she looked all around only to find black and lifeless things. Her sobbing was gone and all that remind was silent tears falling from her face, and that’s when something pink caught her eye. When she moved closer she saw it was a tiny pink wonder. It was a little plant that had risen from the ash, defying all odds and daring enough to bloom in this world of black. Then the little girl heard within her heart the unmistakable voice of the One who had knelt beside her many years before "You Are Right, Child–This is Just Like Your Life. You See, I Have Raised You Out Of The Ashes"

A childhood event that should have destroyed that little girls life instead by the loving hand of Jesus gave her life.
