| Amber's Story |
| Well, it started one January night. I never thought that God would take him from me. Well, I was seven and I didn't understand that God wanted my Uncle up there with Him. All I realized was that he wasn't here with me. When I got the call saying that he was dead, I was like, "No, no, you can't take him from me." I wanted God to pay for taking him. My parents explained it that God wanted my uncle to be an angel and that my uncle would always watch over me. I didn't want to admit that my uncle was actually gone. I didn't feel like it was fair, that God could just take anyone away from us just like that. I didn't want to be like that. When I went to go to talk to my preacher about it, he told me that God was good and that He was going to take real good care of my uncle and that my uncle could always see and hear me, but I couldn't see him. I went home that night and prayed to God to make sure that my uncle eats right and that he gets his exercise and to tell him to call me when he gets the chance. This is how I got to know God so well, and thats who I developed my love and understanding for God. |
