It's almost here! And I can hardly wait! Hurry APRIL!
The untimely death of her father shatters
Mary Esther Robbins’ heart, and her mom moves, separating the twelve-year-old
and her best friend. Samuel Baylor writes her without one response in twenty
years. She sings God’s praise; he tends cows and shares the Good News. Then the
Lord brings her home…
He throws them back together when Samuel
agrees to help Mary Esther move and remodel her childhood home. The two decades
lost vanish, and their time together convinces both the other is the true soul
mate. But fear and misunderstanding keeps them from expressing their true love.
Though jealousy rears its ugly head, can love and commitment hold the two
together? And while they’re both dedicated to ministering the Gospel together, can they do it as husband and
wife?
A Sneak Peek :)
A Sneak Peek :)
How could she? Didn’t she have any discernment at all?
Was she so caught up in romance and concerned she’d never find Mister Right that she lost sight of character? Hadn’t she prayed? She searched her memory, but it didn’t register that she ever asked God if Richard was the one.
Married, indeed!
She screamed into the towel, bawling like an idiot. Why, why, why couldn’t she see it? She flipped to her back and stared, suddenly silent, at the ceiling. The stillness rang in her ears. Her breath caught. She swallowed.
Then it hit her, she wasn’t in love with the man. She barely knew him. The inference she’d never know love is what broke her heart. What caused all the tears.
But didn’t God promise the desires of her heart?
She loved the idea of love, of belonging to one man, sharing his life… children. If that was not to be, what had she saved herself for? Wait a minute. That wasn’t the Lord. She saved herself in obedience to God.
If she never found a man, if God never sent a Mister Right into her life, she would still remain chaste. For Him, no one else.
The least she could do after what He had done for her.
Besides His sweet salvation, He’d given her music, new songs, and a decent voice. As long as she could offer praise and worship, extol His Holy name, as long as He invited her into His throne room.…
Sleep finally found her, and then she was twelve again.
