Sometimes, that trustworthy soul will find you, as was the case for Willis Jefferson, in dad’s book, Bluebell.  Rowena Kramer, a white woman, rescued him, when he was a young child, on the plains of Kansas during a violent storm.  But however that trusted individual comes into your life, there can be a big benefit to finding someone to trust, as this brief excerpt shows.

Because of Miss Rowena he could read, write and speak correctly.  But far beyond that, her teachings had also reinforced those of his mother, which, having seemed inapplicable, he had been ready to cast aside.

Her guidance had given him a spiritual peace that allowed him to see adversity and conflict as merely challenging steps in his long, upward climb.  In academics, he excelled in neither reading nor writing, but with his introduction to numbers his true love was found.  He became an addict, going as far as she could take him in the years that he was in her care.

Wow…that’s a lot of benefit gained by finding someone to trust.  How about you…do you have a story to share about how somebody in your life made a big change?  Leave a comment and you just might inspire a fellow reader to be that person in another’s life.
