STORY OF FAITH, TRUST AND HOPE AMIDST THE TRIALS

Post by wenna1986 »

This story is all about a girl who grow up with a broken family.

HER NAME IS: CATHERINE

First, they are a happy family, she had a brother. By the age of 7, her family got broken, her father gone, her mother had another man in her life, Catherine and her brother had to move in at their grandparents house,
where she needs to help the household chores, aside her grandparents, she one uncle and one male cousin.
Catherine continued her school, everything seems fine, as days, months pass by, something strange happen to her, when Catherines grandparents away from home, her uncle doing things in her body at the time she just ignore, until at night her uncle rape her and told her not to tell anyone since its ok. she continue going to school graduated in elementary with the scenario of being sexually, while she's having a shower her uncle watching. abused when her grandparents is not around at the house.

When Catherine reach High School she finally understand that all those things that her uncle doing is not good. She's afraid to tell anyone even her own grandparents she just keep it herself. Time came that her uncle finally moved out in her grandparents house, Catherine feel safe and relief that finally she's free from the evil man. she continued her study with the help of her father's brother and wife who supported her in all her needs. Catherine enjoys every moment of her life that she don't need to worry every night, she could sleep well even sometimes she cries at night for what her uncle did.


Catherine, received a text message saying " I will have my vacation in our grandparents house. This is her cousin. ( male). She just ignored the message and inform her grandparents,
The day has come, her male cousin arrive at home, it was around 4 am in the morning. she heard some noise downstairs, but she went back to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she saw her cousin, smiling at her, she smiled back and went to the bathroom. When Catherine went to her room to prepare for school, her cousin grab her and again sexually abused, Catherine cant shout or ask for help because same with her uncle's reason if you tell anyone then it will be a big trouble and shame to our family. Catherine's cousin told her that I like you so long, the sexual abused was continued while her cousin still on his vacation. For so many years, she's been sexually abused, In her 4th year of high school she promise to herself to get away in her situation.
No one knows her true situation even her closed friend and best friend because she's afraid to be judge.
she pursue her college but did not finish it due to financial problems,
Catherine apply different kind of work to sustain her personal needs and provide something for her grandparents. One day, she meet a man thru online app, Catherine is very happy, the man is nice, sweet, year 2008, they agreed to meet each other. In their first meet seems all is well, until catherine got pregnant and everything is change.
The man she thought would love her, take care of her is not yet ready to have a family. the man suggest her to abort the baby, or she can keep the baby alive and she will get some financial support.

Catherine, decided to be strong, raised the baby alone, she work hard, to sustain all the necessary things she need and the baby.

she's alone at the hospital by night, only her few friends visit her by daytime. finally its labor time and a beautiful baby girl is born. Catherine's happiness is unexplainable, all the heartaches, disappointment and pain she had was forgotten at the moment she heard the cry of her baby. By the time she see her and hold her, she cries and cries. after giving birth, no one in her side to assist all her needs, a women at the age of around 40's approach her and said, you must be hungry and thirsty, I will buy you some foods so you can eat and rest after. Catherine realize that after all the bad things happen to her GOD guide her and watching her.

Cathy, experience a lot in her life, from being sexually abused, but she continue to strive and work hard to provide her daughter's need.

As write Catherine's journey,

Today,
She have her own house, small business.

She focused in her work but God has its on way to make her happy and luckily God give her a man that accept her past and love her and her daughter with no judgement.

It's really show's that life has a different color of journey to take on, negativity and positive are always as we live in this temporary world.

I always believe the saying in Matthew 6:33, seek first the kingdom of GOD and all things shall be added on to you.

Never give even if things didn't go as you plan, its only shows that GOD is preparing something more than you plan for your life.

This is such a sob story! If someone you know undergoes the same abhorring ordeal, please let the authorities know. People will help you bring justice and to prevent similar things to happen again or to others. The chain of atrocities should stop.
