Life unlike Any Other

Sixteen and married

Ignorant on the concept of what love or life truly is

Arouse, undefiled virgin

Longing for acceptance and security

Surrender all self, as it duty.Seventeen.

Impregnated and abandoned

Unwanted fetus conflicts with life Emerges in the spring

Mother and child matures,

Linked heart to heart

Nurtured and molded favorably.

My Testimony:

I was born in the Island of Trinidad and Tobago and was raised in a Muslim home. During my early childhood years I attend a Elementary Hindu school and I took part in their worship and culture. Outside of school i attended the Hindu temples with friends and also took part in their prayer, rituals and culture. At the same time I took classes from my uncle and cousins on the basics of Islam and I went to Mosque periodically. At the age of twelve my grandfather had passed, but he came back to me in a dream and told me to prayer to Christ. Being naive at the time, I woke up and ran to the kitchen to tell my mother I have seen my grandfather in my dream. In that moment I wanted her to know what he  told me, but during our conversation she looked at me and said, grand father would never tell me to prayer to Christ - being that he was still a Muslim when he passed. After our conversation she told me to go back to bed, so i did and ignore the dream until God brought it back to me as a teenager. At the age of sixteen I was married and abandoned with child, later I tried to commit suicide. Nevertheless, I was unsuccessful in my attempt to take my life. I recalled as i was getting ready to drink poison I heard a voice that spoke powerfully to me and this was what i heard. "NO" you are mine. In that instance I was shaken, so I threw out the poison  and went to bed with a broken heart. Few weeks later I met one of our neighbor's who questioned me about my sadness and weight loss. While I was telling her my story. I broke down in tears and in that moment she witnessed to me about Jesus Christ. From that day i never turned back.

But God!

My beloved grandfather who came to me in a dream after he passed and told me to prayer to Christ. What amazed me was, when my grandfather passed he was a Muslim.
