I am going to tell you a story about , my friend sisley, she grew up in Washington
spent all of her life in Washington, until she went into the military
after she spent 19 years in the military she got out, because of her daughter got hit by a car on her graduation day while crossing ,The street to Stadium High school
a drunk driver was going to fast and hit her daughter, while crossing The street. The same day , which was her graduation day, months later , her daughter cupcake , became a paraplegic
Then months after that , doctors gave her, The wrong medication which lead to her losing her sight and she became blind and had to learn braille,
It tore sisleys heart out , she couldn't deal with her biological and psychological realities of the change of seeing a wonderful high school excellent scholar , who was her child life taken away in moments , by a drunk driver, so she started a expensive drug habit, to get away from her pain and be in another Illusion in her mind, creating a false Utopia of worlds, That only existed in her mind,
when I accidentally saw her ,when she was on her high , she would say to me, go away from me with your gift , don't get near me, I don't want to be helped by god , I don't want to feel his presence don't hug me, I don't want to feel the love of god - go away,
so I did
She had enough money to support her habits so she wasn't poor, nor did she support her habit by means of any type of welfare like most people do, she had money she had saved and her family wasn't poor , but wealthy
When she came down off her high , she would come by to visit , thats when I took her to church
one Sunday morning, as we walked into the church she held onto my suit coat as most people do , that I bring to church , We sat down ,The preacher started to preach a sermon , after he was finished , he said The time has come and god is asking you to come , let go
but sisley looked at the preachers and said
No I am holding onto my demons my devil and I am not letting go of my drug habit and when church was over we left,
overnight she started to have a change of heart , when she had a change of heart she later meet someone who loved her with all her problems and drug habit, so for the first time in her life at 45 years old she got married, she started to love and believe that god is a real god, couple of months after she got married she moved away to st Louis Missouri,
her and her husband, to get away from those who she knew that supported her drug habit because they had one too, she did poorly while here in Washington , and she wasn't given a second chance
her and her husband meet a older white man, while They lived in a hotel who owned many properties is st Louis Missouri he said his father owned many slaves , and many
houses, I told this story before in 2012
on facebook,
The older white guy started to ask sisley about her life, It was amazing to her that he cared to listen, The older white guy asked why did she could to a place like Missouri being, that dark of skin color , but sisley over looked that ,
when she told him the truth ,
he said I am going to give you a second chance and I am going to even give you home
and no one can tell me what to do or how to do it or even to screen you , no one can take it from you either, so he gave sisley , her husband a five bedroom home , three bath it need some minor repairs like painting and tile and a few windows , but it had a terrible history to it in the basement, it had chains on the walls and footprints in concrete and names of slaves , where they use to keep slaves at from years ago
The house was old , so the older white guy said to sisley, If you can deal with that you can have this house, sisley and her husband took The house ,
The older white guy said to her when you sign this paper it is no longer a responsibility of mine , but yours, sisley called me , came back to visit tacoma ,to go to church with me to tell everyone how, god changed her days after ,The sermon and gave her a home something she thought she could have never had , because she was poor from supporting her drug abuse habit, but she reformed her life ,when she left Tacoma
Not by someone who was black but by someone who you wouldn't of never thought ,to give anyone of color anything, sisley stills owns this house
and because the older white guy used his power to make a difference in someone life forever, sisley will never forget the way that older white guy made her feel,
I have withheld the names being this is a true story, my friend asked me to tell it to a gospel group on facebook , when I had my facebook which I no longer have as a testimony of how people can change not by any human will , but by gods will , money is powerless when a decision is made from the heart
sisley made up in her heart to make her drug habit powerless and give her life to god
and the man who use to be racist in st Louis Missouri
showed sisley, That the world is not ruled by money and made the world a powerless place ruled by his decision that he had gave many black people homes, and he didn't require them to have a credentials no one could change his decision, no bank in this country could change his mind his heart or his decision, and thats what he told sisley, god has the reins to every man heart and you don't have to be touched by anyone so don't believe that, yunish nephatallie
god does the impossible and can make the heart do things things possible, only in god
with his hands,
