another sad story

It seams like lately all I have blogged about is sad stories. I think as my language has gotten a little better (still have a long way to go) I can understand more of the stories that I am hearing. I was visting with a lady I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. She lives here away from her family and her husband is not very kind to her. As I was visitng with her yesterday another lady came in. She was also from a different city and here alone. She lives next door to this lady. Her story was even sadder. Her husband is here working so his family is not here and her family is not here. They rent a little small area inside a house. They have one small room that works for their bedroom/living room/ kitchen (she has a little hot plate thing she cooks on), and they have a little bathroom that is seperate. That is it. Their room has no windows and is very small. She has been married nine months and lost a baby when she was four months pregnant. If all that is not sad enough, she never leaves her "house" unless it is to visit this lady, and she is only allowed to do that every once in a while. They told us that in the last three months she only left her "house" three times. Her husband locks her in the house so that she can't leave. Can't imagine this kind of life, living in a prison when you have not commited a crime. On a good note, we were able to share a lot with these two ladies, hopefully she will be able to come over again when we are there. I will be bringing a Book to the other lady next week. (she asked for one, so that she could understand better and see where our Book is wrong and hers is right). Thankful I do not have to be afraid I know my Book is from the Father and the more she reads it, even if it is to try and prove it wrong, it has the power to change hearts. Please be lifting up these two ladies. We will call the first one Jamela (this means beautiful) and the second one (the younger one that just lost the baby) Araja (to hope). That they would know the one that can give them hope.
