Soul of a Son, Life of An Addict '

There in a small town in Mississippi, a very poor family of (7) seven are yes struggeling but are yes abound. Jimmy the youngest of them at now 17 tell his father that he wants to be a Preacher The desire to teach is a privilledge that he inherited from his Uncle, and nowat that prunitive age he goes to his uncle (home) town. The soul of a son is one thing, but the life of a addict is another. My Brother, my brother he sit's down one day and listen in on one of his uncle's lectures as this friend of Jimmy is being lestured too. You don't need to be weak at the knee's in this stage of dealing with certain issue's and as he comes to the end of his lectures he himself (jimmy) is in need of some "tissue". Jimmy is a member of the debate team(at school) one of the student is this friend, who is dealing with crack-cocaine habit that he just began doing for about a month now. So this-this-ss partic-ular day jimmy takes him to see the preacher (his uncle) after this young friend said to him, "help-me". {I believe you can be of some help}. "Don't be afraid to seek God as your first step". So after the two of them have elaborated over the matter for and hour, Jimmy feel's a need of concern, so they leave together. My Brother-my brother. "Life of an Addict", will carry you places you never thought you'll be and keep you in situation's and you will never be free. Free to enjoy (life) and freedom from the depentacy of drugs and living on the streets!!.... These phrases becomes a part of the mindset in one's attempt to go forward with the "Power of Prayer", and the belife of knowing you're not a "Coward". "Soul of a Son", is to surrender your all onto the source of everything(Faith). And "Life of an Addict", is knowing that God places people in your life to possitivily restore your faith in your- self. So when life throws you a "Nippy", (storms) that is when you're not to give up, because the enemy wants you to think that you are always running on empty!!. "For he is everywhere (Jesus) even there in this small town of Mississippi".
