Even this early in your reading, you're nodding - aren't you?! Because you just know who "He" is. And, like me, you "know" He's there. Right? Right.

Of course, there are times when "He" seems elusive, withdrawn, and all too trusting of our own faith in Him. Are you confused yet? Allow me to explain.

I've loved this site since I found it. I enjoy blogging and feeling the warm, cozy "atmosphere" of kindred spirits. But something happened in our lives that was so very difficult to entrust to the Master that I stopped writing altogether. Stopped creating. Stopped laughing. Had thoughts of stopping being. You see, our son was injured by another - a teenager who didn't resist when his sin nature came calling. The price was our child's innocence. And though I thought I had healed, I couldn't see "Him" nearby. Couldn't see how He could possibly be working in our lives.

Life got easier, smiling became less rare and one day recently I stopped by my blog. It was at that moment I noticed something. Look at the header closely. I'm a graphic designer and created it to look like flannel. I liked it enough that  just felt it was done. It's not beautiful by any stretch, but it just seemed so complete. Now look at the avatar (about me) picture. As you can see, it is nothing more than a snippet from the header. Do you see it? Can you see the face? I didn't put it there. Really, I didn't. I just noticed it - plain as day. There's that face. It was there all the time. I just didn't see it.
