Haven

Chapter Twenty

'It was confusing.

I didn't know this could happen here.

Happen in a safe place.

But I know that through it all, through it all, God's faithfulness shines through.

I'm grateful for the horrific experience.

I saw Him, my Lord, and He showed me I had no reason to be shaken.

But He didn't hush me for being afraid.

He loved me.

His love allowed me to love Andrew more.

It was scary, but God.

I feel like I can face anything now.

I do.

I may shake, cry, and feel the storm's entire effect, but God keeps me grounded.

How blessed is the one whose foundation is the Lord? The storm will come, and the wind will blow, but he will not be shaken, he will not fall.

I don't recall the exact verse, but that's who I am now.

I've always wondered why trials come and why God's own have to face the seemingly hardest ones

Why?

I still don't know, but the trials are always won.

Everything we've walked through, He has kept me.

It's hurt.

It's been painful.

It's scarred my heart.

But God kept me and healed me entirely.

Now, I can walk through it all.

Maybe I can walk with others if they'll let me.

I can show them how God takes you on a journey and heals every part of you.

The journey isn't always beautiful, some parts hurt more than others, but in the end, you shine.

I believe that I shine!

Use me, Lord.

However, You will. I will be Yours.

"Andrew! Dance with me," Isabella called out as she dropped her pencil.

It was a sudden urge she had.

To dance with her forever love.

She loved being held closely by the one she loved.

The night he took her to the dance at Mary-Anne's was the day she gave herself to him.

Now, being able to dance in his arms, knowing what one dance could do, blessed her soul.
