I am really tired, sitting on the side of the street rocking myself to sleep. I have had insomnia ever since the first night we were kicked out of our home. We didn't have any family near and our pride was too high to be shattered by our family. We couldn't afford any hotel, we slept on the streets from that point on.

That first night, is when we became Christians, at least I know I did. I remember I felt as if I had been set on fire, I was ecstatic for Christ. I didn't care what others said, I just wanted to please my Savior. I was God's daughter and that was all that mattered. The world was still spinning, but I felt like I was spinning the fastest. I wanted to... I don't even know what I wanted to do, I was so excited! But, now I feel empty and dark, I just don't feel like I am BURNING.
