Victory Over Trauma by Rebecca K.
Oh yes I am a child without a mother,
My mother died and my father got married to another woman.
Oh yes I am a child without a mother.
When I tell her mum, mum give me money for school
She says No! No! No!
Go to the grave and dig up your mother
And she will give you money.
Oh yes I am a child without a mother.
This was a poem submitted to us by a girl from Chibote Girl's High School.
Today. Thursday. Our last day of real work at Chibote. Carol spoke about forgiveness. Her testimony was truly amazing to witness - she connected in a very real way with everyone who as there. Our entire STS team has been watching God working in Carol's life for the last four weeks, and this was the culmination. First, let me tell you a few things about Carol. Carol is a sit-curled-up-on-the-couch-write-in-her-journal-for-hours kind of girl. She's beautiful, blunt, wildly creative, and fabulously funny. She has pink toenails and a very real handle on what it means to reach out to the unreachable. To love like Jesus. Her life and her character are a testament to the grace of God. Her journey has been long, and what an amazing gift to have been there to see her stand and speak today. Today she has broken her silence at last. And her voice is beautiful.
