As she came of age, Macie constantly inquired and searched to find her biological father. No one was willing to tell her about the circumstances of her birth. Her family members shielded her from possible demeaning remarks of unkind children and neighbors to enable her to develop high self-esteem. She soared to the highest levels of scholastic accomplishments. As valedictorian of her high school, she presented an outstanding graduation speech. A successful career seemed assured. Having accepted Christianity at an early age, Macie devoted her time to spiritual pursuits until a budding romance changed her beliefs and caused her to reevaluate her ancestral Christian roots. Choosing to dabble in astrological predictions and to question her Christian tenets, she sought to study philosophies or belief systems contrary to what her close knit Christian family held sacred. She moved from her hometown to avoid the influences of her family members and their religious dictates. When she was infected with HIV, she returned to her ingrained faith, sought the prayers of her family and other Christian followers. She continued searching for her biological father; never realizing that her heavenly Father was always available for her. Ultimately, her redemption and acceptance of God's grace, love, and mercy once again enabled her to be beckoned into a glorious new future of eternal life.
