Ok. So I have finally purchased my copy of The Shack by William Paul Young. I cracked it yesterday and finished it today. I'm glad it was a slow day at my office. There is just so much to digest in this book.
The first thing that I keep coming back to is this exchange:
"Jesus?" he whispered as his voice choked. "I feel so lost."
A hand reached out and squeezed his, and didn't let go.
"I know, Mack. But it's not true. I am with you and I'm not lost. I'm sorry it feels that way, but hear me clearly. You are not lost."
And there it is. The deepest cry of my heart in my life right now. I FEEL so lost. And inside I choke back the sobs that grip my heart. Trying to find that hand that I need to be squeezing mine. I have some real deep sorting going on. I think I have gotten some stuff mixed up with my humanness.

Oh Sweet Lydia....I'm so glad you stopped in Dear Daughter That I Didn't Give Birth To. I miss you so very much. I'm so proud of the mom that you have become and of the walk with Christ that you still walk fearlessly. You are a gem in my heart. XOX.
