Fickled: A Christian Fable

By Shanae M. Gamble

We can live in the world or we can live in the world with Jesus….. It is a test of your will. For, God says salvation is free. So, no matter where you are in your walk in this life; know that you are loved because HE first loved us (John 3:16). Being fickled is not a label…..but a temporary circumstance. Seek God with all your heart and soul and know that HE ….only HE….is perfect. If the Messiah can forgive us for all our sins; then, we can forgive others. For forgiveness is the key to true hApPiness. To live a haPpy life, forgive those people or things that fickled you and opened your arms to HIM (Romans 10:9) Let, God be your cornerstone and you will not fail…… Yes, you will not fail!

AN INTRODUCTION

Dirt has many connotations, including a filthy or soiling substance, something worthless, a contemptible person, a licentiousness of language or theme scandalous or malicious gossip, and embarrassing or incrimination information. It is said that dirt also can make things grow and develop. So, we can thus conclude that dirt is needed in the world of today to grow and develop individuals. Being fickled or tainted in life is equipped with good as well as bad things. But if we take those bad events and encourage it with faith, it doesn’t define us. Then and only then can we live the life that is called for His purpose. God wants us to take our imperfections and fickleness to Him in prayer. No matter how far you feel you have felled from grace, Jesus will give you mercy and forgive you if you come to Him with a pure heart and declare Him as the only vessel. That vessel will give you the ammunition to fight drugs, sex addiction, neglect, abandonment, abuse, love lost, loneliness, terminal diseases, homosexuality, and low self-esteem, among other things. Keep the faith that it is all in His plans. For the Word says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29: 11-13). Whatever changes in your life, and the dirt that fickles you, remember that forecast will change because God says there is a new, stable season ahead.

In the next pages that you read, you will live the stories of individuals who have been fickled and how they overcame their problems through faith. Each person has a dynamic story that we all can relate. The purpose of this book is to enlightened individuals that you too can overcome adversity and live the best life possible for you.

W HERE’S THE MOTHER?

FIONA

As a little girl, I was always shy. I remember my mother teaching me all kinds of things at a very young age. I have three siblings beside myself. I was a twin; but she didn’t make it. Sometimes, I hear her as a whisper in the winds. It’s like we never parted. I’m the baby girl; but at times I feel like the oldest. Tonya is the birth oldest, Audrey, Justin, and then it was me. I can truly say we had fun as kids despite our mishaps. I remember playing checkers with my best-friend, Wallace. He always let me have the first bite of the cake we’ve
