What It is
“God? Can you hear me? I’m so scared!
I heard Mom coming down the basement stairs. I started shaking and looking over my bedroom, searching in vain for anything that would set her off: an open drawer, dust on the nightstand, or a dirty shirt left hanging on the closet door. Everything seemed in order, but by the sound of Mom’s footsteps, growing heavier by the second, I knew something was terribly wrong.
Mom threw open my bedroom door and I immediately cringed back into the corner of my bed, cur...ling my body into a ball to protect myself from what was about to come.
God? Do you hear me yet? I screamed in my mind as I instinctively covered my face with my hands. As a little child, I used to envision that God would come swooping down out of Heaven with a thousand angels to scoop me up into His arms and take me off into the clouds where Mom couldn’t hurt me anymore. But God never came; not once. Mom always outsmarted Him and found ways to get to me quicker than He could.
My earliest memories of Mom were of fear and uncertainty.MoreLess
