TO THE PARENT WHO IS HAPPY TO COME ACROSS MY LETTER…
I once was that prodigal child — lost, angry, and struggling to find my identity. Hardened on the outside, but deeply hurting within. The pain of my choices was not only destroying me, but creating heartache within our family and severing my relationships with the people who loved me most. Mad at the fact that Mom took me out my comfort zone of home at the Tech in Ennerdale, into a foreign world of Ixopo, too young to understand that Little Flower with Mr. Oakes waiting on his new student arrival, was Mom preparing my independence. Upon my return home, became a holiday working school student to help My single struggling Mamma with two younger siblings after me. In between Q’s was my getaway in the depth and realm of a Hip hop zone. Lichelle Laws inspiration kept my sanity as I bobbed and waved, driving and smiling at the security gaurd at the garage parking post of the Carlton Centre as I got the stolen out. Point of the car was just to get to the Dale n leave it stranded near fine town somewhere.
By God’s grace, Mom did not give up on me — She prayed for me and here I am today. Thank you Mummy. I love you. Never give up on our children, no matter how much they hurt or persecute us.
Someday they will return… home.
It’s incredibly hard to pray for anything but a comfortable, successful, and pain-free life for our children. But as parents, the greatest eternal good that we can pray for them is their salvation over their earthly happiness or comfort. We have to fight for them in this world filled with temporary pleasures, self-gratification, and blurry lines — entrusting their lives to our Lord — even if the path of salvation comes through pain.
I am eternally grateful that my Mom loves me enough to pray for my brokenness, a brokenness that would lead to healing.
My path of brokenness nearly killed me. How I survived from the 8th floor of an Eloff building only Mom’s prayers can answer.
After a devastating loss of my identity, my first two years of utter depression, my life spiraled out of control. I searched for identity and purpose in anything but Jesus. As self-destructive patterns drove me deeper into despair, I longed for an escape from this world, totally! ultimately landing me in the protection of a hospital, not twice not thrice! The breakdown, the stroke, the month I decided I want to experiment with drugs and be an alcoholic… My point? Nobody’s perfect! Surprisingly just the other day I was threatened by the very same I experienced that life with, yet, the more she condemed my new choice, the calmer I responded… Knowing someday, she will join me…
In that stark white hospital room, the choice before me was clear: be crushed by the weight of my sin or lay the broken pieces of my life at his feet. By his grace, he led me to my knees and has been redeeming those broken pieces ever since. My journey is still very far from over my friends and family…
We will only be bold enough to pray a prayer of brokenness over our children when we ourselves have been broken before God and trust his love for our children and us. It’s only when we have completely surrendered our children to him that we can pray, “Father, use what you must to save my child from an eternity apart from you, no matter the cost.”
Pray against the enemy’s desire to have them.
I have read that “We will only be bold enough to pray for our child’s brokenness when we ourselves have been broken before God.”
A battle is being waged over our children’s lives. We have to fight for them, especially when blindness keeps them from fighting the battle themselves.
I remember my mom telling me the story of a time when I was standing with her, angry at the world, and taking it out on her. She looked at me and said boldly, “I am fighting for you, humble to your Queen!” I hushed down quicker than you read this sentence.
Although we don’t have a guarantee of our have turned again, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31–32).
Even if your child wants nothing to do with the truth, This is another mighty weapon God has given to parents.
My Mom has prayed Cornthias 1:13 …. Love is…
Her other favourite would be as if she’s singing it beautifully. Aaaah Chereldene, my Mom… I miss you:
She’d bless Psalm 18:16–19 over my life and pray it often:He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
It truly amazes me to look back and see how faithful God was to answer Mummy’s prayer. I was drowning in self-destruction, abuse from others, rebelliousness, and sorrows too deep to understand at the time. God, in his mercy, drew me out of many deep waters, and rescued me from my own flesh and Satan’s desire for me.“While we must teach and train our children, and put boundaries in place, we have no control over their hearts.”
As I sat at South Beach Shopping centre, staring at 32 Falaise where my family lives, no longer wanting to live, God rescued me, he brought Wendy, out into a broad place, and showed me that he delighted in me (despite my unworthiness). He has continued to be faithful to this prayer, upholding me through many deep waters and carrying me through many dark days.
Parents, no matter how far your child seems to be from Jesus or what path they are on, you can fight for their life with the powerful weapon of God’s word.
The Power of a Praying Parent
I am learning this on a new level and Parents, so should you. Look through the eyes of a Mother who has one child on Earth and the other child, who eternally will be 6 years old in my soul. Look through the eyes of me…
“God has made a promise — and sealed it with his Son’s blood — that he will give back more.”
You have more than earned this reward, with your participation, your opinion and above all, your time.

MY TRAGEDY – CLICK HERE
Written on the 26 September 2018…. Chereldene Venetia Williams (Hamann) 6 September 1960 – 26 September 2015.
“My Compadre’, My Karnal, my best friend, my guide, my fort…My QUEEN!!!!!!!
Only God or another child who has lost a Mother would know how I feel on a day like this…It’s been extremely hard for me being your daughter for almost 3 years now. To some, it’s been so long, to me, still just like yesterday. We were extremely close my Mother and many admired the Mother/ Daughter bond you and I had. I never have and never will have a better best friend than you.
I still don’t remember half of the day I lay you to rest, it’s still all a bit misty to me. People tell me bits here and there. I ask some ‘’why were you not at my family’s resting day’’? and I get responses like ‘’but Tanya I hugged you’’? Aaah well, I do apologise after that, But What I do remember Mummy, is when I stood there seeing you and My Son and Grampa sinking down into ground, a sight that flashes in front of me every now and then… Hey, I act the soldier you trained me to be… so they all think I’m ok… you know I’m not… Please just forgive me for today and the 26th , it’s humanly impossible to bear… Loving Mother… May the gentle leaves that fly in a breeze whisper your voice in my ear if it be God’s authorization. I love, miss and cherish the one and only woman in my life that would never leave my side, even in your absence, you are still here in my heart and my soul as my spirit is one with you…My Mother…
You have enriched my life and made me who I am today. I miss you so much especially today, I want you to enjoy your birthday in heaven with all the angels and give Milano Williams and Miguel Louw the biggest piece of cake ok? You were the first person I thought of when I woke up this morning. I am truly so sad you are no longer with us, at the same time yet, I am still calm that you are happy and safe from harm in the arms of God. Mom, as your children, want you to know that even if you are no longer with us, we still love you and miss your presence. The word “Mummy” is very special as we hear others here on earth say it every day. ‘’Mummy’’ is the embodiment of love, affection, and care. Of all the moms in the world, you are simply the best. Our lives will never be the same again without you. The day you passed away has been the saddest day of my life, and even worse, as you passed together with my very own child Milano. On the day God made you Mummy, he specially designed you to be a soldier and embodiment of love. I want you to know that I will forever keep you in the deepest recesses of my heart until we meet again. Your Daughter… Tanya”.
Tanya Williams says “I believe The Universe does not punish you. It does not bless you, nor control you.
The universe responds to the vibration you create yourself and to others”. Live it!

Posting Contest — Win Two $25 rewards (which will be paid via PayPal)
Post Yesterday, 00:12Another two prizes are up for grabs!
Prize 1– The author of the topic in the May 2021 Book of the Month Discussion Forum that gets the most unique replies by the end of May wins $25 (which will be paid via PayPal). 
Prize 2– Whoever posts the most combined replies in May on other people’s topics overall in the Book of the Month Discussion Forum wins a $25 (which will be sent via PayPal).
The May Book of the Month is Fear Not, Dream Big, & Execute by Jeff Meyeri.
Very short topics and posts will not be counted. Off-topic generic, short, repetitive, meaningless, or ‘fluffy’ topics/posts won’t be approved by the moderators. Comments should be at least three sentences long. Comments made just to increase the count won’t be approved.
For Prize 1, “unique replies” means replies by different people, not the same person. So, for example, if one person posts four replies on one of your topics, that counts as only one.
Topics must actually be about the book. Overly general discussion topics or topics not really about the book will NOT be approved and will not be counted towards the contest.
Scott is not eligible to win (since it’s his own contest).
You can check the current results anytime on the Cool Stats Page.
If you have any questions let me know.
Remember, it’s meant to be fun!
* You need to read the book to open new threads or discuss topics. Generic/duplicate topics won’t be approved.

Thank you!
If a moderator or admin wins either prize, then Scott will send that person their prize, but he will also send the prize to the next non-moderator/non-admin in line. This way no member can get bumped from getting a prize by a moderator or admin. The reason for this is that he has asked the moderators to be sure to move or delete off-topic threads and posts, so this will make sure the moderators can be strict without it potentially seeming unfair.Personal pronouns: She/Her

Fire To My Heart…
By kashmira ezaara bemath…
Is it I or is it you
Or is it that I’m not see-through
Was my burning desire for you not left behind like morning dew
For you to not think that the flames in me spark because of you
Well it is true
Don’t tell me that after all that’s been happening you never knew
I gave you piece by piece some might say clue by clue.
You say that i changed you but look at it from my view.
I guess you were building me up to be the best version of me.
You know I’ve never felt so alive before.
It was you that unlocked the fire, it was you.
Who unlocked the fire to my heart.
We’ve been to hell and back, but you know that how the stories told is never how it goes.
One day we’re smiling .
Next day we’re crying .
Some days it’s all about “you know what you did did”.
Then there’s the “I love you”.
But no matter what shit we go through the flames in me will forever Burn for you because…
It was you that unlocked the fire, it was you.
It was you who unlocked the fire to my heart.

If you follow the crowd you might get lost in it
• Everyone is unique in their own special way, but sometimes we tend to follow the crowd and allow ourselves to become mediocre.
• When we allow ourselves to be mediocre we forget about the qualities which enable us to be the remarkable people we are.
• Forgetting these qualities make us forget who we are and what we are meant to do for ourselves.
• Therefore forgetting our goals and our morals.
• No one will ever achieve greatness by following the crowd and for this very reason we have to be ourselves.
• Another reason to be yourself is because you are one of a kind and there is no else like you.
• When you are true to yourself, you start to realize how special you actually are.
• If you follow the crowd you will try to fit in and start to mistrust yourself, you will force yourself to be like everybody else, which is wrong because we should all be true to ourselves.
• Don’t blend in rather you should out and show the world how unique you are.
• Be true to yourself and I am sure that you will never fail.
• Some people, sometimes even friends will take advantage of your lack of confidence to feed their own insecurities,
• But you need to stand up for yourself and prove to them that you are not one to follow but one to lead.

FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. How long do stories need to be?
A. We can’t tell you until contest start time how long the entries must be. Past contests have ranged from 500 max. to 2,000 max. You’ll just have to wait and see.
Q. Why won’t you tell us the contest word count ahead of time?
A. Because we have found that some write their stories ahead of time and then (crafty they are) creatively incorporate the contest topic into their almost-completed story.
Q. What’s the biggest mistake writers make in the contests?
A. Bad endings! Oh, we do so detest bad endings! Predictable endings, poor and weak endings…they can turn a wonderful story into a sour grape. We’ve read thousands of stories over the past two years and some absolutely wonderful and beautifully written stories end up losing on the last sentence. It’s sad, but it’s very, very common. Hint: We LOVE surprises!
Q. What do you base your judging criteria on?
A. In the contests, we give the topic and what we find, after reading the first few entries, is that most of the stories are the same story told over and over but in a different way. Those are weeded out because it is obvious that originality did not play a major part in their planning. We also look at good writing (but if the story is not good… it gets tossed as well). Some writers can weave a beautiful thread, but tell a really bad story at the same time. Humor plays a part, too, when appropriate in the story. If we groan, we don’t like it. If we laugh out loud, we love it. What we end up with (at the end) is 10-20 stories that stood out above the rest. While good writing is a must, originality plays a huge role in the judging as well.
For example:
A past topic was: Life Threatening Situation in A Natural Disaster. Common themes were people trying to survive hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and the like. The winning entry focused more on the psychological madness of the wife than on the hurricane itself. Another winner gave us an avalanche. Not only was the story beautifully written, but it was the only avalanche story we received, and the life threatening situation was not the natural disaster, but the impending suicide of the main character.
Another topic was “It was the most terrifying classified ad yet and, to top it off, a there was a blizzard brewing!” One writer wrote about a woman and a classified ad…and she was drinking a blizzard from Dairy Queen. Now THAT was original!
I hope this gives you some ideas of what we’re looking for in winning entries.
Q. What should I avoid?
A. Far too many stories come in with the main character being a writer. Please don’t do that. It is far too common. Also, do NOT make the main character of your story named Angela. These tactics are always used by a few in each contest and they don’t work. In fact, making us think that favoritism because of a name will be used has the opposite effect on our judging. Good writing is what makes a winner…not manipulation of the judges. Oh, and don’t make your story about a writer who is participating in a writing contest but who can’t come up with an idea on the topic. We always get a couple of those and that idea is pretty old by now.
Q. What is the judging process?
A. Stories are read and broken down into two categories. Finalists versus other. The finalists are read and ranked by all judges. Using the rankings, we pick the top 23. These 23 are then re-read and ranked again by the judges and awarded either first, second, third place, or an honorable mention. All others are eligible for door prizes which are awarded at random.
Please join us! We’re gonna have a blast!
