I was a Rebekah Home for Girls in 1983. I was only there for about 6 months. It was hard being away from home, but it really helped me break away from some bad influences and also get a fresh start. I would love to find Tara Nugent from Louisiana. She was my best friend. The sad thing was...my mom came and got me early because she could not take the guilt of leaving me there. They did not tell me I was leaving. They moved me to a room close to the office a few weeks before and then on a Sunday morning they kept me back from church and my mom came. I was so happy, but I never got to say good-bye to my friends.
The discipline was harsh in comparison to the way kids are so undisciplined today! Although it was not perfect, I am thankful for the home and the change it made in my life. Bible Memo...I still know the chapters of Psalms and they have gotten me through tough times. I am teaching them to my girls now. My girls have a wonderful, Christian dad who loves, disciplines and trains them....something I did not have.
God has always provided me what was best in my life even in bad situations, He has made something good because I have put my trust in Him to do it and because I seek forgiveness and also, I forgive. Everyone will eventually let us down. They are not God! He will NEVER let us down. He is allowing humans to do it their own way for a short time, but eventually He will right all the wronged and bring justice to the world. I am only responsible for my own actions and I choose to love and forgive.
