When I first met Teresa she was a normal unruly kid. Her mother allowed the behavior being that there wasn’t a father figure around. Debra would say things like, “be quite,” to Teresa. The sassy teen would rebel and counter by telling her mother to, “shut up, you don’t tell me to be quiet” this went on time and time again, the fight for control. Teresa’s brother on the other hand was quiet but observant in the way his mother allowed such behavior. Soon, after he followed in his big sister’s footsteps becoming out right defiant. Trickcey the youngest of the three wasn’t quite in the picture as I can remember. Oh, yea she was at the time its just she was sickly as a child. So she really didn’t get into all the action. I was a kid myself some were around the age of 16 or 17. I was known for hanging out in the streets and running away from home. So I would periodically stop by to play cards and drink with her mom and the local in crowd that hung out over there. Sophie would take me over there or I would walk. I guess if you want to be somewhere bad enough pat and turner will always do the job. Just in that little time I learned their patterns. I was dealing with my sexuality also at the time. Sophie was thinking about setting me up with Debra, Teresa’s mom which was cool at first. We had one sexual encounter which didn’t go as I’d planned I think because she was new to it. It wasn’t quite her cup of tea so I let it be and relinquish my will to come around as often as I did in the beginning. While I was there I would buy the kids ice cream if I could so they would like me. All those late night drug deals, that no one seen in the dark would show its happy results on their faces the afternoon after. We would smoke, drink and play cards to pass time while the kids would eat ice cream and find the simplest things like tossing a stick around to make into a game. So, years went by somewhere along the lines of 8 to 10. Sophie dies, Debra and her children attended the funeral. I meet the now more mature Teresa that was now on the same sexual level I was on. So we talked for a few hours here and there. That night I went out to the club and got drunk as a skunk. I found myself at my cousin’s house Leesha where I was living at the time but didn’t know how I got there. The house was full I needed somewhere to lay my head to stop the thumbing sound that just wouldn’t stop from the over whelming alcohol that claim its stake over my body.
The only vacant spot was a snug thin space on the floor next to Teresa. According to her I said “move over I’m sleeping with you there is no where to sleep.” See, what alcohol does to you thank goodness she didn’t take it the wrong way in fact I think she got a little turned on by it. With that being said I’ll spare you the details but just know me and Teresa became more than childhood see you later type passing travelers that night. At this point in time they were living in another city but later would move back to our small town Jinglesburg, CO. When they moved back I began to hang out more and more with Teresa. I found out as a little girl she had a major crush on me but never did I think or did she think we would have something going. Teresa in the city where she was living prior to moving back to our hometown Jinglesburg CO. had a girlfriend named Cee-Cee. Teresa was her first. We all know about first love and how that goes. There’s always that one person no matter how you try the rudest things they say sound like sweet lullabies to your hearing tubes on the side of your head. But since Jesus Christ has come into my life I don’t indulge in that lifestyle anymore. It doesn’t mean I’m better or that I hate those that are in that lifestyle. I love them with all my heart I just dislike the sin or the acts because they are blind to the fact that it all comes from hurt and disobedience to God. Me personally I don’t need a man or woman at this point in my life I need Jesus and I have him. The devil starts the seed early look at Teresa her crush started very early. My experimenting started early as well. Satan knows he couldn’t bring the drugs or the alcohol straight to me because I knew better. Wow, now that we’ve gotten that straight I’ll finish the story. So anyways I started hanging out more and more with Teresa I got a chance to meet more of her family members. This included her auntie Janice an outgoing funny non drinker. Oh, my bad non smoker but heavy drinker but full-time clubber that had two beautiful daughters and one cute son. I began to notice that Janice dressed very well she kept her hair and nails done to the tee but her kids on the other hand wasn’t that fully attended too. This in these days is what’s happening more and more. Is it right? No, of course not in my eyes or yours, if we take the time to look at it but we never know what Janice was going through. Is she full filling a childhood dream of her own at her children’s expense? She would drop them off to anyone that would keep an eye on them. On that note everyone who has children are not suppose to know how to care for them. They do what they know how to do and if that means a lot of trial and more error than so be it there are much worse things happening than a mother doing a little splurging. Later down the line she may think what she could have done differently. Trust there are plenty of things I’ve done wrong in my life. Thank God that he is not like people, holding everything against you. When he forgives you he throws it in a sea of forgetfulness never to be remembered again. Janice is dating their father Peter, yes dating on-again, off-again. And yes we’d think after three children they’d marry but that’s ok we are all a work in progress. Help Us! All of us father. Peter was a humble but corky guy that loved Janice enough to marry her. She just won’t stay out the club and out of other guys faces long enough to do it. Peter’s position is that he loves his kids but is very unsure about if he fathers all of them. He’s thought about calling the Frankie’s show to do a DNA test where everyone else goes to find out still in his humility he doesn’t want to first embarrass her or himself for that fact the children. So he just goes along with it although sometimes getting frustrated. He turned to find other woman but always coming back to Janice. See life doesn’t come with a bulletproof vest or instructions the only true manual we have is the bible. If your blinded and in the world your walking around in total darkness. We true believers have an advantage because of Jesus Christ we believe what he said will come to pass so that’s our light. I feel sorry for the world and those that will not accept the light. We all have the same opportunity I’m no better than you. It’s just I picked it up (bible) and was over the top and over the edge enough to believe it. God has also called me by name your time is coming when enough is enough just hope it’s not too late. Jamie their son is super unique. He learnt about the bible in Sunday school along with his sister too. The thing is Jamie believed and Jessica refused to do so. So Jamie the brave and bold young man took on the responsibility of trying to get his entire family save including his mom Janice that doesn’t want to hear anything about God. She tells him, “Son it’s not real it’s fake.” Jamie refuses to believe that so he prays daily for their salvation to come. It’s a constant battle between Jamie and Jessica. The baby girl, Crystal is in between the two of them going back and forth with her head. At the time she was two years old and confused. Who do you chose and whose side are you on? Jessica’s frame of mind is that “I will grow up to be just like my mom.” Jamie says “No, be like Jesus Christ he was and is perfect.” Jessica responded, “He is dead.” Jamie countered, “No, he is not he is on the right hand of his father.” So, they go on and on for hours about who’s right and who’s wrong.
