Her name defines her... Precious.
Last Wednesday we were doing VBS with a group of older kids. After a series of events a 13-year old girl, Precious, ran out crying. I followed, which ended up having a drastic impact on both of our lives.
As I followed her out, I began praying. I knew I had a great ministry opportunity, and prayed that God would speak through me. I quickly found out Precious' story. Her father was in prison when she was born, her mother abandoned her, and she was raised by her aunt and cousins. There was no love in her home and at times she just felt like dying.
After hearing her story, God began speaking through me. I was able to encourage her in her faith, give her some scripture (she loves reading the Bible) and love her. After talking for about 45 minutes, I prayed for her. A lot of things were said that I don't have room to write about, but after the conversation was done, I was shaking. I was shaking because I could see how God had spoken through me and I wouldn't change a word I had said.
That conversation has turned into a relationship. I give her scriptures to read everyday and she reads them. In our first conversation she told me she wanted to be a poet, and last Friday she surprised me with a poem she had written along with a note to me. The note read, "I will miss you really. I never had a friend who loves me so much. I love you too."
Love and Care

I should love you
I should care about you
I should pray for you
I know what will you say
I know what will you think
Love is like something
What about friendship
Smile like a Princess
Smile like Jesus
Smile like the future ahead
That no one will cross
Mother Father give us
