Book of the Week: The Struggle

Today I read a children's chapter book, The Struggle, by Nancy Rue.


Books help me forget about what's going on in real life, which is sometimes a good thing and at other times, it's not so great. While the story, which was about choosing your battles and turning the other cheek (aka do you catch the cattle rustlers by yourself or tell the grownups), wasn't really applicable to what was going on in my real life, the title was very fitting for what is going on within my personal community. Some really hard stuff happened this week, and I've put a lot of energy and emotions into just trying to process and understand that it really did happen and what to do and how to feel. 

I have had these verses on my mind all day, and they have cropped up in several different places, so I want to end this post with them:

"I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? 
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. " --Psalms 121:1-2
