Many pairs of shoes inside the front door make my heart happy. Some slid neatly off and paired together, some thrown off and in various locations in the front room; but it doesn’t matter – just seeing them makes me smile.
True.
I’ve been away from the keyboard and blogging for almost two years. Away so long that I couldn’t even remember my sign in. I’ve slid back in by joining the FMF party; but no explanation giving for my absence. Not that you need one; but True needs one. Does your life every get so overwhelmingly painful that you pull away from activities that you love? I did.
True.
The last two years have not been what I thought they would be. Tears. Sorrow. Sadness. Not many pairs of shoes inside the front door. As sadness and sorrow swelled like the waves, I pulled away, you could say, I caved.
True.
Life seemed to turn upside down a couple years ago and I reeled from feeling tossed by the seas. You know, I had my picture-perfect life all planned out. But God had His plan.
True.
And His way and will prevail,
Even when I felt as if I had no wind in my sail.
Tired, worn, lonely and frail
His way, His will prevail.
True.
