"She screamed inside, then she kept quiet. She took a quick glance around, but everyone still scurried about doing their normal business like nothing really happened. She began to talk to herself, "But I screamed, how come no one heard me?" She rubbed her eyes again and opened them, but it was still the same feeling. She felt like no one could hear her. She felt completely abandoned.
"You mean no one understands what I'm going through? Do I really have to tell anyone before it can get into their brains that I really am in pain right now? Do I really have to give a lecture concerning all the things I've been going through? Do I? DO I?" Then she went back home that night, and she decided to make one last phone call. Maybe this phone call will save her life, she thought as the phone began to ring. It rang 5 times and went straight to voicemail..."hello, this is Teee..." But she didn't even let the personalized message play itself out. She threw the phone under her bed and she began to weep...she began to weep because she had never experienced this feeling of nostalgia before. She wept because in the past she was shielded...she was shielded by the love of friends and family, she was shielded by riches, by shelter, and by unfailing love. She was protected by a false covering. So she started a thinking process, "why me???" she asked, "why me???" As she was crying, she fell into a very deep sleep.
She started to dream...like John she was taken to a distant island. She woke up on the sea shore. And she saw Him...she saw an angel, she wasn't sure if He was Jesus, but she was certain He was from God, whoever He was. He didn't speak one word. He had a Book in His hands and He began to flip through the pages, the book was kind of huge so she could read the words as He flipped the pages...
"Why me?" Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all..."
So she started to clean her tears...
"Why me?" Romans 8:19 "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God."
So she stopped crying...
She turned to the angel and said, so the whole earth is watching me to see if God will answer my prayers? Is that it? Is that why all these things happened...wow, so people are waiting to see my God? People are watching to see the God I serve? Then she had a flash-back...she was remembering that she talked to someone, she was telling the person how she had faith that God was going to show up in her situation...but the person turned around and smiled, "I have faith too, but I think you should start thinking about other options because this situation is dead..."
So she stood up and started panting...then she started pacing back and forth...she was on her bare feet, so she felt the sharp stones under her feet. She felt her strength coming back to life...
Joel 2:25-27 “ So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall NEVER be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God and there is no other. My people shall NEVER be put to shame"

So the girl woke up from her dream...and God answered her prayers that same day. On the same night, she received the check she was praying for...it felt like a dream, but this time it was real. The proof was in her hands. So someone heard her actually...God heard those screams inside. Her school fees is now all *PAID FOR* enough to continue...
