The trees are green with new leaves, blades of grass point upward reaching for the sky, flowers are beginning to bloom creating a glorious palette of color all around. Casey sits on a bench among the new beginnings. It is spring. The season she loves the most where everything comes alive. But today is different. Today she can’t see past her pain. Past the heart ache she feels deep inside. She can’t see past the face of the man who shattered her dreams, the one who walked away. Three years of their lives planning and preparing and he just leaves. No explanation, no I’m sorry, just… I can’t do this.
Tears sting her eyes, “What will I do? How will I make it? Where will I go?” She places her hand on her abdomen. “The baby will be here soon. What kind of life will I alone be able to give her?”
Be still, and know that I am God. “Lord, how can I be still when my thoughts won’t move past this. Where is my future? How do I know what comes next? Be still child.
She drops her head and closes her eyes searching for an ounce of peace. “Help me Lord. Help me see.”
Her plea is interrupted by a noise above her head. A blue bird is perched on a limb. A bumble bee buzzes close by searching for the perfect bloom and a chipmunk ventures out of its home to see what the new day brings. Her heart hears loud and clear, Do not be worried about your life, I know what you need.
