But sadly, one day his father got sick and died. Poverty soon set in and Schimea longed for all the things a father could bring.<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>His mother, a strong believer, encouraged him, &#8220;Even though we don\u2019t have a father in this house, we have a Father in Heaven and He loves us and cares for us.&#8221;<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>Intrigued, Schimea asked, &#8220;Can He give me gifts since He is a Father?&#8221;<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>His mother assured him that he could. Schimea promptly began asking God to give him a yellow racecar.<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>To his delight, God answered that prayer when he received a gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoebox around the age of 10.<\/p>  \r\n\r\n        <p>As his childhood went on, Schimea's brother also died and Schimea got mad at God.<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>In this trying time, he sensed God telling him, &#8220;Why don\u2019t you put your trust in Me? I am your Father.&#8221;<\/p> \r\n\r\n        <p>Shortly after this, Schimea accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and got baptized.<\/p>\r\n        \r\n        <aside class=\"pquote\">\r\n            <blockquote>\r\n                <p>&#8220;Before I was relying on my father.
