A Special Friend

 

 

In this world we're bound to connect with other human beings, either we like it or not its a duty. At work we must work together with those around us to get the job done. At home we must interact with our beloved ones. In my personal life I believe that my only true friend will always be Jesus, yet I do know that in this world we need at least one person to always be there for us. Even Jesus said there are those friends that stick closer than a brother! Today I want to dedicate this post for one special girl that is one of those friends that hold a special spot in my life, she certainly sticks closer than a sister.

 

Marlene Ramirez, she's been there for me through thick and thin no matter the distance between us (about 1,000 miles away!). I remember when I met her, we just clicked instantly. Ironically we met through a photo I posted about chocolate haha, my addiction added this wonderful blessing into my life. She would advise me in my time of need, told me how to overcome my hardships, and more than all she helped me with the most important blessing in life; she helped me when I decided to convert. Those late nights when I felt a swirl of emotions going through my head, feeling like I couldn't do it, thinking that it was too hard, etc. She was there to help me overcome it all, to keep firm with Jesus and become a women of God that she believed I could be. No long after that I accomplished my dream, not only that but she became my sister in the faith.

 

All my important and special moments and memories are shared with this Women of God. I'm grateful for having such person in my life. I know that there's much more to come, but I just wanted to tell you how much you've impacted my life. When everyone turned they're back on me, you took me as I was because you're a true friend, a servant of God, unique, beautiful, strong, and random Nene :)

 

Thank you for everything my special friend, your very loved by this Gabberz right here, I pray for many blessings for your my dear :)

 

 

 

 

In Her Shoes

I ounce saw a plain girl,

She seemed so distant yet so attentive.

“Happiness seemed so far away,

No roads, no paths, I just couldn’t find a way.

Something so simple,

Yet so unbelievable.

Hope, hope is a funny word”,

She told me.

“Hope is like telling a fish it can fly,

Like pointing at the stars at night hoping you’ll be able to touch them.”

She gave me a look of despair,

As if she didn’t have a repair.

Eyes so sad they darkened,

Lips so dry they trembled,          

Face in such agony that it twisted.

“Go party they said, it’ll be fun they said.

Tell him yes they said, it’ll be fine they said.

Cut yourself I said. It’ll ease the pain I said,”

Her words cut with irony,

She smiled in mockery,

But it wasn’t even funny.

I observed how sorrow penetrated her soul,

A vulnerability took over my being.

To desperately want to help this woeful girl,

I wanted to stop her mournful state,

Unfortunately I couldn’t.

That girl was me.

Like a hero Christ came and he rescued me,

Took away my chains,

Cleansed my shame,

Forgave my sins,

And my every mistake.

Now I’m turnt,

I’m not who I used to be.

Because I’m brand new in Christ.
