--Thank you Girlfriend!

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you for the email and the support! I am glad that you didn't

get defensive with my email and IT TAKES GUTS a person that is

secure with oneself to respond back when you realize that IT IS ALL

GOOD! There was not one tone of sarcastic in your email and for that

I thank you! I know you have been here along time and been thru alot

with Patty and some of the girls and I know they are very good

friends of yours.

I want to share this story with you and everybody about a woman whose

words never left me. The reason I left the Catholic church(I left the

church but I NEVER LEFT GOD) was a woman who I knew from church came

to me one day to talk. See, her boy was one of the boys that was

molested. She shared her frustration of WHY IT TAKES US SO LONG TO

GET UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG. She was so brutally

honest with me and herself I could not take my eyes and ears off her.

She told me that when all of this came out(molestation in the church)

and people were ANGRY and wanted justice for their boys and wanted

her and everybody to get out there and stop this injustice because it

is wrong AND IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING UNTIL WE GET WHAT GOD IS TELLING

US. Her words to her fellow people would haunt her for the rest of

her life. She told me she told these women(that have gone thru

THINGS THAT SHE KNOW IS GOING THRU but at the time HAD NO IDEA WHAT

THEY WERE FEELING)to pray and GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM AND THEIR

BOYS. She said, Teri, what was I thinking when I said such a thing.

GOD WAS TELLING ME TO WAKE UP AND TAKE CARE OF MY FELLOW PEOPLE! GOD

WAS SAYING TO ME, HELLO???? Are you going to do something for your

people? God was trying to give me and all of us a message that his

own MEN THAT SERVE HIM are human and have evil thoughts and I STILL

CONTINUTED TO IGNORE THE MESSAGE THAT GOD WAS SENDING ME UNTIL IT

HAPPENED TO ME. She told me something that stuck with me. She said

why, does it take something bad, really, really bad to understand

that THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT ANGRY OR NOT GIVING IT TO GOD. THEY WERE

TRYING TO SAVE ME AND MY LITTLE BOY AND ALL THE BOYS THAT WERE GOING

TO BE THE LATEST VICTIMS but I FAILED TO SEE THAT. THEY DIDN'T HAVE

THE ANGRY PROBLEM or wasn't healing or didn't believe in GOD. I HAD

THE PROBLEM because I chose not TO LOOK WITH IN MYSELF AND REALIZE

THEY WERE TRYING TO SAVE US! I PRAYED FOR THEM and prayed for them,

like they had the problem because they didn't believe in GOD when

reality was I didn't believe in what GOD has taught me. GOD TAUGHT

ME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG and HAVE FAITH AND LISTEN TO

WHAT MY fellow people have to say and when somebody has been done

wrong TO GET UP AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND TAKE UP FOR MY NEIGHBORS.

She told me if she had listened and WAS SECURE WITH HERSELF AND GOD

LIKE SHE SO THOUGHT SHE WAS that she would could have ADMITED she was

wrong and have no FEAR OF THE UNKOWN, that she could have prevented

what her family has been thru and all of the boys that could HAVE

BEEN SAVED IF ONLY SHE HAD LISTENED and wasn't so quick to inflict

HER VIEWS ON THEM, WHEN IN ALL REALITY, SHE NEEDED THEM MORE THAN

THEY NEEDED HER. Her story has never left me and never will. We all

think one way or another because it is WHAT WE KNOW AND FOR THE MOST

PART IT HAS WORKED FOR US, so we tend to sometimes think IT IS THE

ONLY WAY FOR US AND OTHER PEOPLE. So, AS HUMANS WE STOP LEARNING AND

LISTENING to other people and their WORDS AND VIEWS because we think

we know THE WAY. We all have been guilty of it and I MADE A PROMISE

TO THIS WOMEN I would NEVER STOP LISTENING AND NEVER STOP LEARNING

FROM GOD'S PEOPLE WHICH WE ALL ARE. To embrace VIEWS AND DIFFERENCES

BECAUSE SOMEDAY YOU WILL NEED THEM AND THEIR WORDS.

So, I guess when I and other people say things that might come across

us anger or that we haven't healed, sometimes it isn't at all about

that. It takes the INTENSE PASSION to fight for our people and want

to do something about it. LET THESE PEOPLE do that BECAUSE WE NEED

THEM TO SAVE OUR WOMEN. Embrace what they are trying to do.

Sometimes, we all have a hard time communicating what we want to do

because WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED PAIN and ALL THAT SOME PEOPLE WANT is

to be heard and they will take off on that path and save many, many

women.

Thank you and I will heal from this poison. God has always healed my

body so that I can get out there and give back what HE HAS GIVEN ME.

Thank you and thanks for letting me share my story,

Teri
