Mimina, How Much Longer a Slave?

...Because now he is no longer just a simple slave: more than a slave, he is a beloved brother... Philemon 1:16

Mimina grew up alongside her master's children, Miriam and Chris, like siblings. She and Miriam were the same age, and every toy Miriam outgrew was passed down to Mimina. As they grew older, Mimina even learned to read and write with Miriam. Never did she feel ashamed that she was Miriam's slave.

But Mimina's friendship with her mistress came to an abrupt end the day she realized she was nothing more than property. Miriam owned her. She could be sold, used, or mistreated at any moment.

Anger filled Mimina, and she longed for revenge, though her mother and grandmother pleaded with her to keep faith in God and not let her heart grow bitter.

Mimina would not listen. She wanted freedom at all costs! She would not wait on God or anyone else. Determined, she was ready to trample anyone who stood in her way to achieve her goal.

Would Mimina bow her head again and accept being someone's property? Or would she succeed in gaining freedom for her family as she so deeply desired?
