Are you there, God?
Where are you?
You seem to have disappeared like my peace of mind.
My trust is all shaky—wavery.
Maybe I’m the one who’s gone?
I mean, Lord, it’s been like a very bad hair day.
I know in my heart that it isn’t you who moved.
Why can’t I just rise above the things of this world?
Why do I let things get to me so easily?
I know.
I know all the reasons I let them in are real, Lord . . .
. . . that I live in a fallen world. I’ll always have troubles. Eve and fruit and a garden, all those things and more . . .
But I get so tired.
Sometimes I just feel like running away.
I know it’s just me—how I’m feeling right now—it’ll pass.
Won’t it?

Come here to Me, My child.

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:29-30).
And God was the first to ask the question, Where are you? “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, ‘Where are you?'” (Genesis 3:9)
“Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things” (Psalm 98:1a)
“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler” (Psalm 91:4).
No,
I don’t feel like that today . . .
but I did a little while back.
Our lives are like that,
Up and down days come and go.
But our God never changes, never stops loving us, is always ready to pick us up, dust us off, and hold us to His heart.
So!
What do you do instead of running away on a bad day?
Or maybe you do run away for an hour or two? ☺
I’d love to have your comments.

Love,

Do you love a good read with a twisty plot and well-drawn characters, a light thread of romance? Something inspirational, contemporary, with suspense that won’t let you sleep or do the laundry? One that insists that you go to the next chapter rather than to stop there to breathe? The Stonekeepers is all that and more.
Here are a couple of snippets from reviews, where to find my Author’s Page. While there, you’re a click away from where to go to get the novel:
5 star review “Mystery, suspense, typical teen angst, romance and world travel, The Stonekeepers has it all.”
5 star review “Mystery and romance. What else could one want in a story? Well, The Stonekeepers definitely fits those categories, but it doesn’t stop there.“
