"If there are wolves in the woods
expect to see wolves;
and if there is God in this place
expect to see God."
~ Ann Voskamp
Why is it so surprising
when a sunset blazes red across the sky
and my throat closes because of the beauty?
Though it makes me gasp and tingle,
it's easy to see God there.
But when the last breath blows away a loved one's life
and my heart constricts and tears run hot because of grief,
there
right there
God seems a little out of reach.
It's hard to see a loving Father in the midst of the hot ugly messes
but
it's not impossible if you expect to see Him.
Look.

Love the line "when the last breath blows away a loved one's life..." Been there. My heart did constrict and the tears didn't stop for days...Sure do love your blog. You are a gifted writer. I would say I want to be like you, but then I know you would say something wise like, "you need to be you..." I just want to write a wee better than I am doing right now!! Thanks for the pick me ups!
That's exactly what I'd say. Sheesh. Do great minds think alike or what?
