The Young Bride's Childhood

Hey, everyone!
The bride's childhood.
   Mary Magdalene was born in  to a rich family in Magdalena, Israel (For further debate on that, check out my last blog post: http://magdalene-beyond-the-da-vinci-code.blogspot.com/ ) on sun rise.
The family had hoped for a boy, since they had just born a older girl. Mary's father had great displeasure.
As early as six years old, Mary would have vivid dreams, where she was in love with a boy. Ohh la la! As she expressed, she thought she had two bodies and two lives, one in the dream realm, and the other in the physical. She would tell her mother all about her dreams, which of her mother despise of. Mary's mother thought it was un-normal, and disgusting. She told her daughter to shush. Now, if Mary ever told her father about her dreams, he would beat her -- obviously, that was out of the question.
Mary was an un-usual looking child, she had green eyes, appose to the dark brown israeli ones. She enjoyed art, and was sometimes spoiled by her mother -- Though her mother was strict, Mary was an obvious favorite child. Mary, though, was a troublemaker. She used to steal candy from her school, and give them to the other children in her class, when she was only nine. Every trip her mother went on, Mary would come, but often not her older sister -- which Mary had not took into account, she loved her own beauty, and loved herself.
When Mary was eleven, she inherited part of her family's mansion, and all of her maids adored her. She hated it though, and could careless about her house, she played outside and did not return until night. Her family's house was on a river, and it had a rose garden Mary played in. Also, it was a half-hour away from town, and Mary would travel there often.
  Eventually, when Mary was about 11-12, her father became a rabbi, which Mary hated. She did not like religion, and wanted nothing to do with it. When she became older, she became Shamanistic, for her love of nature and the animals.
 With even more wealth, her father moved them further south, (Mary may have acquired her name "Magdalene" from this, moving out of Magdalena) where she eventually actually meet the royal family. Technically meeting Jesus, right? Maybe not meeting him face-to-face, but that is pretty cool.

As I have posted about before, things of course went downhill. She was sold into prostitution, raped, had a child out of wedlock, then met Jesus. So things turned out GREAT for her. (I mean, she did marry the Son of God after all.)

Well, I guess I never realized she was sorta a brat until I had to research it :) I guess that ended pretty quickly once she became a prostitute.   [156.] Mary said, “When new life comes to you do not cling to the old.” 

Thank ya' so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed :)
