EXCERPT:
It had been several very
difficult years. Years filled with fear, anxiety, despair, loss, and confusion.
I was burnt-out, and exhausted. I was striving for perfection and acceptance,
all the while trying to make everyone around me think I had it all together. In
time, everything began to tumble down around me. Then there came a time of
resting; a time of healing; a time of rebuilding. I can look back now and see
the hand of God in those dry and empty places, but when I was in the midst of
it, it was very lonely. The waves were high - the winds blew hard and loud.
Then the questions came…..
Why is this
happening?
What did I do
wrong?
How am I going to
get out of this?
God, why won’t you
fix this?
Are You listening?
God….do You care?
It was at this time that I was
talking with my sister, Margie, and she suggested that I step back and
re-discover who God is…His attributes, His character, and His nature. Go back
and look at the promises of God. And so began my journey…
The next few months were spent searching
the scriptures to remind myself of who God was. And as I searched, I discovered
that when I put down the old questions, new questions arose. Why does He love
me the way He does? What is His purpose and plan for me and my life? When does
He act on my behalf? Where is He taking me? And you know what? I discovered He
has answers to all of my questions.
It all started when I learned
to be still and know that He is God…
