This story is intended to reach the readers by sharing my experience as a stepchild and being brought up with people who really embraced and loved me for who I was. In experiencing these writings, one would understand how to overcome his or her ups and downs and enjoy the beauty of life and its surroundings, even for short periods of times, through the roller coaster of life. As you hold on to the Master"s hand, believe that you can change things through the mercy of the living God and Lord Jesus Christ. One must know that the sun doesn"t shine all the time; that darkness must come. Sometimes life seems to be fiery dots from Satan to pierce you deeply in the heart. Then you must tell yourself to hold on to the plow and don"t let go of your faith when the mule jerks the plow away. You will succeed in whatever you strive to do, even if sometimes the pain seems to be unbearable. Most of all I reach out to those who suffer with cancer because I have battled cancer twice in my life. It"s very hard, but stay busy and don"t focus on your sickness. Strive to test your strength to help others.
