These pictures depict how it seems my life is right now: foggy, messy, chaos, unclear, uncertainty, fear along with lots of questions.

Just as I knew the ocean was somewhere in that fog (I could hear it), I know in my heart Papa God is right here beside me even though I feel lost in the fog of broken dreams, the messiness of hurting hearts, the chaos of learning to live and love well. And my heart cries, “Are you there? Where are you, Papa God? Why aren’t You doing something?”

And in the storm I hear the quiet reassuring Voice, “I am here. I am working. Just as it took your daughters several days of cutting, gluing and messiness to make something beautiful and precious; it takes time and care to make beauty out of pain and brokenness. The good work that I have begun, I will complete.” So I am choosing to rest in the clutter, in the fog, choosing to trust the Man who gave His life for me, surrendering to the beauty He is making.
