"Yesterday"

Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in the desert. Somedays were tougher than others, especially those days which painfully reminded her that she did not yet really speak the language of this far off, exciting desert place. One of those days, let's call the day "yesterday" for the sake of this story, she also found herself locked out of her apartment late at night after watering the plants. She could not leave her yard for she was not wearing what some like to call, "culturally appropriate clothing." She called out for her kind and benevolent landlady to no avail. She then distressfully called out for the knight in shining armor/local store owner near her. He did not hear her either. Determined not to leave the yard, she feared she would have to spend the night outside. Finally a neighbor heard her call, and after a very long poorly communicated ordeal, the landlady came down with her son. The son broke down the door; more than an hour after the plants received their water, the girl reentered her house.

A few tears fell at some point in the evening for this girl, but she was reminded of the provision of her amazing Prince of Peace who always looked out for her, was always with her, even when she was locked out of her apartment in the desert. Her soul was restored. The next day, she also walked an hour in the heat of the day, and that felt great too.
