...that deep hidden place under God's wing...



"Nothing else in my life has been as baffling to me as not being able to conceive a child. My emotions hide even from myself, spilling out in tears at times of sadness or anger at the most inopportune times. There have been no days of real clarity, not time when a light has come on to show the way- not even a little. 

But the mysterious and marvelous mercy of God has convinced me of one thing in all this; it is dark because I am in that deep hidden place under God's wing... 

My heart cries out, 'Why, O God, will you not answer this prayer?'... When this happens, God in His time and in His various graceful ways, comes to me, to remind me that I am not alone.

He has given His best to me, His own beautiful, beloved child. Will he withhold any good thing from me? No, never. Is Jesus enough to make up this aching void in my soul? I do not always feel that it is so. But it is.  Jesus loves me... this I know."  Debbie Trickett
