> She has begun moving in with us and is living downstairs with Gretchen.
> Brook is working two different jobs.  One is part time and the other is full
> time.  Several years ago, Brook was riding with a van load of kids she
> should not have been with.  Some had criminal records.  The driver lost
> control of the van and some of the passengers were injured.  At least one
> person, as I recall, was killed.  Brook's back was broken and she was laying
> on the boy who was killed until the paramedics arrived.  Not a pleasant
> memory.  Brook was in the hospital for some time.  Eventually the insurance
> paid off and Brook's mother spent it all and Brook received nothing.  Her
> father split and no one knows where he is and her mother died last year and
> she has no knowledge of where her brother and sister are now either.  She
> asked if she could move in because of her fears, and the fact she has been
> clean for 7 weeks, until last night, and she said she needs a mom and a dad.
> Today, she became so frightened, I was wondering if she could even make it
> to work.  She is being honest with me but she is a little girl trying to be
> an adult right now due to the trauma she suffered as a little girl.  At
> least half of the women I pray with are, in many respects, still like girls
> due to the trauma.  Jesus has a thing, in a manner of speaking, for children
> and that's why He reminded us that we are His children.  It's nice to have a
> dad/father when you are little, isn't it?  Brook is about as broken of a
> person I have every known.  She will not make it without the Lord.  Shoot,
> none of us will make it without the Lord.
