Sissy eagerly reached for Emma’s hand and whispered in Celina’s ear, “I’ll be her teacher today. Don’t worry.” And she didn’t. Celina trusted Sissy, and it spoke volumes that Sissy had been observant enough to know Celina might not be comfortable parting with Emma in a strange place.

She continued, "Even during the most difficult times in my life, I persisted in praying to God every day, and I used this scripture to encourage myself, reminding myself that God will never abandon me!"

' The pastor started his sermon from the reading of the Bible.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" "Is that it? That's the only scripture that I have to read?" Jennifer asked "Well,no not really because there's also Proverbs chapter sixteen verse thirty two,Proverbs chapter fourteen verse twenty nine,James chapter four verse eleven and twelve,Proverbs chapter nineteen verse eleven and many more" "And what if I forget all of the scriptures that you just said?" Jennifer asked "You won't if you meditate

Ever since Evan Moore renounced his worldly pursuits in order to pray for me, I would visit him at the monastery once every month. However, he wasn't in the meditation chamber today. As I waited for Evan inside, a breeze blew open his handwritten scripture. I was surprised when I casually skimmed through the words on the pages.

I bit my lower lip as I slowly extended my hand on the ice cream. “Thank you,” I quietly mumble. Chayim sat beside me. I couldn’t help but to hover my gaze on him. He always wears white. He’s wearing a white printed t-shirt under a denim jacket. His hair was tied in a manbun. Goodness gracious! How can this man be this utterly handsome?! “1 Peter 7:5, Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” I heard him spoke.
