God's Chosen, Mere Mortals

Othoniel Ortiz

Othoniel Ortiz

Why does God limit Himself to do this through Mere Mortals?Why would God apparently place limits on Himself? Why would He, the All-mighty, seemingly choose ordinary people to do the extraordinary? Why does He love His creation so much? In this short narrative I make an effort to touch briefly on each of these questions. I pray that the words written down would inspire you to know the Heavenly Father personally.

Ibrahim owned a field. He had a field all to himself and this made him also extremely happy since no other child of his age and of his neighbourhood owned one.One day, when finally arriving at the field and being thrown into a corner of the bag for the umpteenth time, he started pushing with his arms and legs.He pushed and pushed so hard that he felt reborn again.He had come out of the bag all by himself. The light was so powerful he had to close his eyes, and when he reopened them, he felt so big and strong that he was no longer afraid as he gazed upon that large yellow field; not even when he realized how the yellow was being swept by the wind towards the blue sky mingling together with the shout of his brother and friends and creating a small cloud, right above his head.Ibrahim never forgot that moment and decided that he would, one day, own that field, despite his brother. That day Ibrahim was four months old and had just taken the most important decisions of his life. His enthusiasm was interrupted when a gust of wind shifted the little white cloud, a silent witness to what had happened. Then the sun slowly turned dark.

Now, thanks to her lustful husband, she can only give them part of what she'd hoped for her son and daughter.Starting over is never easy... If Susan Turner had imagined what her life would be like at forty, she would never have seen herself as a legally separated almost divorced mother of two butting heads with her normally straight-laced A-student daughter and living in a rundown house on the sorrier side of town, or that she would be the main attraction for her sexy neighbor down the street (a man with a horrible secret), or that she would be standing up to her husband Captain Jonathan Turner of the Sheffield Police Department. So when she finds herself in this improbable-to-her situation, learning her newly-purchased residence is inhabitated by a ghost seems just another hurdle to jump. With a keen eye and a determined mind, Susan moves on with her life, doing the best she can and making the most of her situation, all the while striving to maintain a stable, loving environment for her children.
