| Please remember some of
these testimonies may be difficult to read, but they bring praise and glory to the Lord
through the life and eyes of these children
The children that come to NAOMI are often the youngest victims of alcoholism. 9 out of 10 children have been placed here as a direct result of alcohol abuse. The things these children have seen . the things they have experienced, transcend my personal ability to share with you their dire need for the healing touch of a loving Savior. Recently, one of our teenage girls brought me a poem she had written, and asked me what I thought of it. I wept as I read it, and told her it was the most moving poem I had ever read. In her own words . let her share her story with you now, in a way that I never could.

| A POEM by Shandiin* name
changed Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life... PSALM 138:7a Except for Me Father and Mother in a room, Father as he pounds on Mother's beautiful face, Screams here and there, Children crying outside the door, Except for one. The Father beating on the Mother, My Mother yelling for help, Kids wondering what is going on. As he stops pounding I finally get the door open To see my Mother's beautiful face bleeding. She has terror on her face, Father has hatred on his, Kids have fear on theirs and baby inside Mom getting beaten as well as Mom. The day has gotten worse Father is mad as a frying pan, I'm calm so I try and get in the way of my Father and Mother. The day gets older Father is cooling down Mom calls the Police, Soon Mom leaves and takes younger brother and sisters. I say "No, don't go!" And "poof!" She is gone out of my sight. |
