One day I was talking with My Friend Becky W. It had been a week since I gained my Testimony. A VERY long week! Brian would not budge and it seemed like he was getting more and more angry! I had to be careful, because, Joanne was also a member of the "Group" and I couldn't afford for the word to get out about Brian and I. I didn't have the energy to fight anything other then Brian.
One day I pulled Becky aside to talk to her about the week. I looked at my life as being a baby Fox living in a hole. The adult Fox would teach us everything about life above ground and prepare us for a life underground. "Don't go up that ladder. There are hunters waiting to kill you. They have guns and knives and you'll be though the moment you stick your head out of that hole!"
I decided to stick my head out and see for myself. I didn't see what they said I would see. I saw green grass! Trees! Flowers! Blue Sky! I felt the warmth of the sun! A wonderful Breeze on my face! Exhilarating smells! There were no hunters! No one around anywhere to cause me any harm! How could someone teach such false things to their children!? I would scurry back down the hole and quietly share what I saw with very few people I trusted and try to get them to follow me.
Becky could see I was still staying strong but our situation with Brian was starting to drag me down. Her words of comfort were just what I needed!
