And the Waters Parted: Leaving the Past Behind Charlene Keeling

Four marriages, drinking, drugs, and many years later, the waters parted. Char had searched for answeres as to why she had been raped at thirteen only to find walls of every kind. Hate, anger, and fear kept her from a wholesome well balanced life. At 14 she was placed in a drug rehab. At 15 she ran away from home only to have taken an overdose and ending up in jail. At 16 her mother sent her to live with relatives, only to be rejected and sent home. At 17 she was married with more heartache then she could have ever dreamed. She lost her first child, aborted another had twins that almost died. At 19 she had a nervious breakdown. She has been shot at, hit, thrown into a window and left alone to drown in her tears. With much more to say between the ages of 17 to 43 Char never looked back when the waters parted. A chance to have a new life she took it. Getting to the other side and never looking back. Even with obstacles ahead of her she was now ready to fight for her freedom. She had someone to give her all the strenght she needed. Jesus Christ.
