short story i wrote about my childhood
Long time ago, there was a house where a a family of six and this family lived in chaos. Parents always fighting and arguing. There were four children that had to live with that for all of their childhood and through their teens and into their adulthood. John, Obadiah, Ruth and sapphire were all brothers and sisters. There were times of fighting and arguing but mainly they all stuck together.Ruth, john, and Obadiah usually tease sapphire and didn't like to want to spend too much time with her. Sapphire did not really feel much attention and accepted on who she was. Some days she felt like an outsider in her own home. Their parents had mental illness and no structure was established in the house so all the children could not really build any friendships especially for Sapphire because it was hard for her to make friends. She only had a couple of friends because of the state of the house she lived in. Friendship change and the friends she had all of them talk behind her back phoning her and set her up to said mean things to the other person that was on the phone listening in. Sapphire was loner, no desire to live anymore, she felt unworthy , unloved, unaccepted in society and this depression took over her. She attempt suicide but someone walk in before she did it. Things got a bit better for sapphire but she still desire a deeper relationship with her mom but it never really happened. This guy came into Sapphire's life and he took over and this guy was named Jesus. Jesus is the hope and he began to redeem things in sapphire life like friends and the love and accepts she desire all her life. Jesus strength sapphire's relationship with her sibling and he continually to redeem things in sapphire's life and her life and future look better and better Satan is on this earth only to kill, destroy all good things. He try to break sapphire's family apart but God is much bigger and stronger and he is ruling over her family and making it stronger.
