Laurna,
Thank you for sharing your heart with me and how God truly does speak to us. One day when I was home I laid down to take a nap and when I awoke I heard God say, “Get ready.” Those were the only words, but I heard them loud and clear. And what followed? It was my dad’s death. Perhaps it was God’s idea that I get rest, for he knew what was ahead, and I did not. And seeing the one who had blamed me, well it would take God’s doing.

I found comfort in your words and I was certain it was the comfort you, yourself had been given from God. That’s what I hope to weave into my stories. It’s not “Hey, look what God did for me…” It’s more, “Look how much God cares for us.” Thank you for not only reading my story, but for also taking the time to share your feedback.

Just a side note. The art you see at the beginning of this story is my daughter’s art. God has blessed me with talented children who are now talented adults.
