Once upon...



Once upon a time in a land called Ohio, there lived a beautiful young girl named Carmelita. She was a pretty young thing with lovely blonde hair and sparkly green eyes. She was living with a wonderful family full of fun and laughter. A male and female guardian and two younger girls and a younger boy comprised this delightful family unit. The guardians took very good care of her and the other children, but one day, she realized something was missing in her life.

Her guardians took her to church every Sunday. The male guardian stood on the platform each Sunday and told stories about a man named Jesus. Carmelita wasn't sure who this Jesus was, but He sounded like a decent man. The male guardian told the congregation they could each have a personal relationship with this Man named Jesus. All they had to do was believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus came to earth as a man even though He was the Son of God and that He was born here, died here and was resurrected from the dead to sit at he right hand of His Father, and they would be saved from an eternity in hell, lost forever.

One day the young girl bowed her head and said the prayer. She believed with all her heart that Jesus was her Lord and Savior and she vowed to serve Him. She didn't know what lay ahead for her, she just knew she would never face it alone because her Prince Jesus would walk beside her all the way. When it would be dreadfully hard and exhausting, He promised to carry her in those low moments of her life. During the joyful and exciting times, He would dance in celebration with her. Wherever life took her with its twists and turns, she would never be alone...He would always be there. She had found that missing part of her life and she began the journey of a lifetime.
