My Sure and Steady Anchor in this Storm

The storm swirls around me. Dark clouds cover the horizon. Like waves crashing over my head, one thing after another pounds against me, threatening to knock me down and pull me under. The storm of this last year has continued into this year – it surrounds me, and there is no end in sight, so what am I clinging to?

Sleepless Nights

It's 4 a.m. Once again I lie there, staring into the dark. It has only been 3 ½ hours since I drifted off to sleep. By yesterday, the end of the week, I was so exhausted I couldn’t keep my eyes open, yet here I am, after barely 3 hours of sleep, laying here wide awake.
