Elijah's Life In The Kerith Ravine
Prologue: Elijah has just come to the town of Zarephath, after being fed by the ravens in the Kerith Ravine.

Life of a Widow
Life of a widow is hard trying to feed yourself as well as your son, being financially hurting. Every day I and my child wake up stomachs growling in hungry, and dying for thirst, but we still show faith and pray to God though my faith is wavering day by day.
Circumstances are tough as my son, who is ill, may be near his demise and he is all I have left. He works, provides money for this house hold and if he dies I am as good as dead.

Now the famine was severe in the land of Samaria and Ahab has summoned Obediah, who was in charge of his place. While Jezebel was killing off the lords Prophets, Obediah was taking hundreds of prophets and hiding them into two caves, fifty in each and supplied them with food and water. As I was walking along I met Obadiah, who recognized me and bowed down to ask if I really was Elijah. I had told him I was and ordered him to tell his master, he then asked “what have I done wrong, that you’re handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death?” As surely as the Lord lives there’s not a kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. He replied by saying “I don’t know where the spirit of the Lord may carry you when I leave for if I go and tell Ahab and he doesn't find you he will kill me
