Run to You

In the middle of the night, rain suddenly thundered down on our corrugated iron roof.  Within seconds my three year old was at my bedside.  “Mummy, it’s loud and I was scared so I ran to you!” she blurted.  I wrapped my arms around her and snuggled her, and despite the continuing downpour she slept peacefully.

When you’re scared as a mother, who do you run to?  When the noise of life is overwhelming, where do you turn?  When life is raining down around you, where do you seek shelter?  I know where I go.  Hope you do too.

Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety.

PS – Sorry about the bright photo… when she was back asleep in her own bed I took a quick pic, but the flash was so bright in the middle of the night and I was too tired to fiddle with settings on the camera…
