years old, I was introduced to the sweet little brown haired, freckle faced little girl named Leah, who would quickly become my best friend. We met in the nursery at the church we were raised in and lived a few blocks from each other. Little did I know our friendship would come to an abrupt stop. For the three years we had together, we were flower girls for a lady’s wedding who went to our church. Leah and I even went to the same school together, and even though we were a grade apart we still…
survivor. A little bit ago my great- grandma got really sick and was in the hospital, at one point she was in hospice. The lady who was helping us through hospice was named Leah, she was really nice and fun. Leah had a 95 year-old friend named Susan. What we didn't know about Susan was that she was a Holocaust survivor. When Leah mentioned this I was very excited and wanted to meet Susan, Susan agreed to meet me but on one condition.

Thesis: In this paper I will show that in order to have a marriage that is in line with God we must seek his will for our life. Psalm 143:10 instructs us on what to ask God. “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” In the Old Testament there are numerous marriages that are engaged in, but none were exclusively shown in regard to seeking God’s will regarding marriage. I believe that because God’s will isn’t sought after many marriages in…

Leah perhaps had the most noticeable character development, at first she views her father as a saint and describes him as such but in the end she realises that he also has flaws. Her fight for justice is her way of finding redemption, so her narration is…
