SOMEDAY

Vacations! Good for the body and soul. Thank you Lord for a hubby that drives me on flat land, curvy roads and mountain tops.

My kind of road: Crooked, no other cars and surrounded by God's handiwork.

Yes, I am back, the desk is cleared off, attended a CASA Convention and ready to get into the daily grind. A daily grind that includes reading.

The Book of Someday jumped off the library shelf and shouted, "Read me." Only a few pages in, the main character is not a loved child and writes in a book about Someday.

Someday I will have a birthday party with people and singing.

Someday I will be pretty and not have long, heavy hair that aches my head.

Someday when I'm a mommy I'll never run away because I'm selfish and bad. I'll stay and I'll say I love you. I'll say it all the time, and give hugs. And I won't hit, especially not with a wooden hairbrush because of the hurt not ever stopping, even after the bruises go.

Someday I'll go to town in a golden gown and have my fortune told.

I have no idea where this book will go but I cannot wait to see how Someday turns out.

SCRIPTURE: PSALM 62:8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

AND NOW

Life is not always easy. Much harder for some than others. Sometimes the hardships can easily be seen, as with certain illness. Sometimes the hardships are hidden, visible only on the inside and to God.

The character uses Someday as a way to cope. How do you cope?

PRAYER: I cannot write the prayer for today. It would have to be way too general. Today, talk to God. Tell him about your hardships. Pour your heart out. ALL OF IT! God can take it. Then allow God to be your refuge. Allow God to be your Someday.
