I am just finishing up the Esther bible study by Beth Moore. The theme of which is a divine turning of tables.
I have been on my knees for a long time now, asking for a divine turnaround. Weeping, praying, begging, pleading, angry, sad, hurt.
And I’m coming to a fork in the road.
Waiting for direction.
Waiting for that turnaround.
Realizing the turnaround I might get, just might not be the turnaround I’ve envisioned.
I will start the next steps toward that fork in my road with this…
“I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in love, even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God, even when He is silent.”
This was etched on a prison wall in a Nazi concentration camp. Granted, I am not comparing any struggles in my life to the horrific torture of the Jews during the holocaust. But I long for the day when I too can finally say, “My Deliverer did indeed come. He just came a little later than I expected.”

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI volunteer for Children's HopeChest and Tom Davis asked that I say thanks for expressing interest in his book "Scared" through the She Reads website! Having gone to Africa with HopeChest recently I know that the things Tom writes about in "Scared" are very real, very heart breaking situations for so many orphans in Africa right now. It's easy to feel paralyzed by the problems these children face, but I have come to realize that it takes so little to make a difference in an orphan's life. Children's HopeChest has lots of opportunities for you to be involved in impacting a child's life. If you'd like to learn more, email brandi@hopechest.org to find out how you might help bring hope to an orphan or visit www.hopechest.org. Thanks again for your interest in "Scared". The more we open ourselves up to embrace God's heart for the least of these, the more our lives are transformed into His likeness. God bless!
