Letter to Grandma
Dear Grandma, I love you, and I always will. Grandma, you have no idea how I constantly worry about you and Grandpa. Every day, I think about, “Are they going to die today without Christ? Will they go to heaven and be in paradise or go to hell and burn there forever?” I have been praying for your health and salvation for at least five years now. I won’t give up. I will persist in telling you about Jesus. I don’t care if you hate me or ignore me. I will keep calling you and telling you about Jesus because I love you and grandpa so much. I mostly care where you end up, in heaven or hell. In heaven, it is promised that there will be no pain, sorrow, or crying in heaven. In hell, there will be burning fire everywhere and there’ll be no escape, burning in fire for ever and ever. Grandma, I know you’re curious about Jesus. We both know He’s real. So why deny? Are you scared? I feel that you want to be a Christian, but something is definitely holding you back. And that something is fear. Are you afraid that our relatives and friends will make fun of you? Are you afraid that Jesus hates you and will curse you? If you are, don’t be. If our relatives and friends make fun of you, don’t care about that, just remember you’ll always have me and Jesus both loving you forever and ever. Life is short and comes with hardship, but eternity is forever. Jesus promised us that once we ask Him into our heart and repent of our sinful nature, He is just and will forgive us. After that, we will be a child of God forever!
Grandma, I want what’s best for you and Grandpa. What’s greater than God? Really?! Who’s greater than God? I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably thinking, “Sharon, you’re crazy. That Bible stuff and pastors are all brainwashing you.” But you know Grandma? I’m not brainwashed. I can think for myself. I can feel Jesus talking to me. I feel like crying when He says, “I love you, Sharon.” Because Jesus is my all. I love God all the way. Jesus makes me so happy. I

    Per Reporter: “Marshall lives with his Unknown Grandmother. Marshall is intellectually disabled. On today, while out seeing my client Marshall, his grandmother became upset because after having a discussion about who should be the overseer of Marshall’s disability check. I stated to her that if she really wants to care for Marshall, it shouldn’t matter whose overseer of his check. Without warning, she suddenly jumped into her car and started backing up with force and an aggressive look on her face. I told Marshall to move to the side and I jumped in my car, backed up and left. I had to drive at high speeds to get away from her because she was chasing me in her car. I later called Marshall to check on him, he admitted that he felt as though…

    I have left for extended periods for professional or academic ventures in the past but Vanessa and I both are deeply rooted in my parent’s home. Between December of 2008 and July of 2009 Vanessa lost a grandmother, two great grandmothers and a great grandfather. She was blessed with seven years of her life in which she was able to get to know the generation of people that she had come from. In 2005 her father moved in with his elderly mother and grandmother after his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer; shortly thereafter my maternal grandfather began to rapidly deteriorate, physically and mentally, at which time he moved in with us. Vanessa gained a great respect for the elderly as well as life experiences and knowledge one can only gain by exposure to older generations; however, these blessings came with lessons in illness and death and the real life challenge of coping with the sadness of end of life deterioration and the loss of loved ones. Vanessa understood that death was the inevitable end to life in the flesh, but she also understood that her loved ones were starting a new life in heaven. Instead of displaying exclusively classic signs of grief that would normally be seen in a child her age under the circumstances, she approached coping with a bitter sweet perspective that…

    Mrs. Bea was always there when I was confused about what God wanted me to do. She would always tell me to pray and listen. Looking back on that time in my life, I can now see where I never actually done what she told me. Yes, I prayed, but I never actually listened and because of that I can see where I missed great opportunities to share my faith with others. After she left, I relied heavily on Mrs. Knight to help. This past year I found out that I will not be able play softball my senior year of high school. This will be my first year since I started playing at the age of 5, that I will not be able to play the sport I love. In fact, I will be having surgery on my shoulder on my shoulder in two weeks. This has been a real difficult time for me because I have felt as if God has left me, but Mrs. Knight continues to remind me that God’s plan is bigger than anyone can ever imagine. She has also told me that God gives us these storms so that we will be able to help someone else that might be going through something similar. In fact, Mrs. Knight is helping me gather my testimony so that I can tell it to the FCS members. It is still hard for me, as the softball season gets closer, that I won’t be able to play. Mrs. Knight has really helped me and been there for me in this difficult time. She has constantly been praying for and with me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her continuous help and support. Both of these women have played a major role helping me with my walk with…

    Even to this day, I don't know how my grandma had so much love for someone who she could barely remember. Yet, since my grandma's condition was bad I naturally helped out my family with my great grandma. I would bring in and out sodas for her since she had a mad addiction to the fizzy drink, and sometimes I would bring her hot meals. Even though doing all of that was great, my favorite thing to do for her was to keep her company. On the most beautiful of days, we would go out and sit on the neon yellow swing set in front of our house in early afternoons when the leaves were turning a beautiful shade of brown and the weather was just the right temperature. The wind sang alluring songs in your ears as the branches of the lush trees danced to the melody. I can picture it just like it was yesterday. The pond next to us glimmered a light blue color as the swing squeaked in glee. She would sing the same tune each time and i would drift into a world of peace and tranquility where nothing else mattered at that moment. But as a little girl, I took those special moments for granted. I was too oblivious to know that good things don't last forever, they never…

    My conversation with my mother helped me understand how and why this young woman insulted Portugal and other countries before. She helped me realize how French people are... And it made me feel better about myself... If you know me, you'll know that I do love to complain, but imagine it twice as much. My mum actually laughed when she told me that she heard them complain about the economy, the way of living... In France, it's free to give birth, you have help from the government after you have more than 2 kids living under your roof, you have everything handed to you. It's insane how much they have while we are in America were everything is costly. In California, to have surgery you pay more than $1,000, in France, it's barely anything. And…

    For the past year, I had been my grandmother's ( Mama Kay) caregiver. Spending time with her was the highlight of my week. She was the most Christian person I have ever known. She was my role model. Mama Kay taught me so much. I would have to say that she helped me grow in my faith. I had talked to her about how death freaked me out. Not actually dying but being around a person after death. I explained to her how it made me feel. Mama Kay told me that the feelings I had were normal. It takes a strong person in their faith to except death and know that when the body dies, the soul is set free. That when we take that last breath, we look normal. It is when they put makeup on us that we do not look ourselves. But they have to do that because our bodies turn cold and have no blood flow for color. So it is to make us look alive. I knew all that but she had to explain it for herself. We had talked a little more about it over the year and I told her that I wasn't sure if I could see her after she dies. She said it…

    But I locked myself in my parents room because the ruckus out in the living was too much for me. It was already past 8 o'clock and I already knew that they weren't going to be leaving anytime soon. So I decided to fill my ears with some encouraging Christian music and my eyes with a book called 5 Minutes with Jesus. Just as I finished reading a chapter of the book I saw my dad coming into the room, and in the hallway I heard some mutter, "Grandpa just pasted away..." I walked to my dad and hugged him as he cried and uttered some words I couldn't get into my head. I let go of him and walked back into empty, frigid, starless room. I closed the door shut and didn't even bother to turn on the lights as I fell on my knees and cried endless prayers. Eventually I came out of the room sluggishly to look at my grandfather, and there I heard cries…

    By the time I locked my phone it changed my life in such a way I cannot describe. If you're getting the idea that I’m just simply a brainwashed follower of this individual, and that I'm “Just too young,” to make decisions like this, then what about the kids who are “children of Christ”? They never get told both sides of the story, depriving them of what they ultimately are entitled to know. Believe me I spent many hours pondering if I should become Agnostic. I remember being in the parking lot of Kroger, waiting on my grandma to come out thinking to myself, “Am I really going to do this? What if I’m wrong and burn in a fiery pit of damnation forever? What if grandma finds out? What will she think?”, a sick feeling swamped my stomach while adrenaline was pumping rapidly through my veins. It's a very.. odd feeling leaving your religion, is not any easy thing at first because you've thought it to be truth basically your whole and until now your just going to throw it all away? I decided that being an Atheist for me, is like growing up; you put things in rational frame of understanding and realize..this is real..it's much like when your pet, or family member passes you have that sudden moment of realization. You realize how much time you wasted worrying about sin and not enough time living -- that's how it was for me…
