i was struggling with something today, wrestling a little with God but mostly with my own mind. i reached the point of decision: tonight, after the kids are in bed, i must read my Bible and pray. i just need to be with my Father. i just need him. it gave me some peace to simply hope for that time.
immediately after o. was tucked in, i closed myself in another room, took out my journal and got out some thoughts. then i read and started to pray about one chapter in particular. while i conversed with Jesus about leaning on him like a brother (consider hebrews 2), i got a new picture of faith.
that wasn't the only new picture. i had answers to the very thing i'd been struggling over earlier in the day. i had barely broached the subject with God, and CLICK! on went a switch, and he answered my confusion. i found him and i found what i needed.
praise the Lord of life! he hears us when we call and is found when we search for him unreservedly. and even reservedly.
try him.

Cheri! I am so glad you came. Your poem warmed me with its honesty, its ache. If you want to post it here, I'll link to it for RAP. But if not, know that I cherish it in my comment box. :)
