last night i was home alone and so i put on my pajamas and took my net book up to my room. Got all snuggled in my recliner with my favorite quilt and started a new book! Writing one that is! This book has been on my heart for some time….
I have been in the middle of another manuscript that is important, but it is a harder piece of work and i just wanted to relax a bit…
I had the outline with the thoughts i had been carrying around in my head jotted down under each chapter….when all the sudden….
One of my boys needed some emergency intervention and so while i was trying to get up our kitty Stryper jumped on my key board and my document disappeared! I could not find it….Sherman tried later to retrieve it……it’s gone, like a tornado ripped through my lap and destroyed all of it….
Sound familiar? Last Spring tornadoes ripped through parts of Alabama and Tennessee just in our back yard so to speak. Witnessing the devastation like i have never seen, A book began in my heart….
A Season of rebuilding….(the title of the book) will have to be rebuilt! I shook my head at the symbolism! Did the Lord want me to remember many of these people lost everything! Or is He telling me that there are no words to do what happened justice. Was it a sign to go ahead?
The word t o r n a d o literally were ripped right out of my hands! What do you think?
I think when everything is lost….you see God more clearly!
I will be sure to turn on my “weather radio” when i begin to rebuild the document!
