A friend invited me to a daytime luncheon in a few weeks. It’s a weekday when Cody will be in school so I could actually attend it…but Cody will actually be in school for the first time in 18 months, and I just want to rest in my quiet house by myself.
I asked God if I should attend even though my initial response was “No.” The luncheon speaker was part of a recent collaboration called FAITHFUL of about 20 different Christian authors and singers writing songs and a book about various women in the Bible. I’m sure it would good; I liked the project and would love to attend with my friend. But 18 months of covid and Cody being home… So, I asked God if I should attend this event. And “Hannah” came to mind. Which makes sense because that’s the woman this singer/author wrote about and about whom she’ll be speaking.
The Hannah who said this:
“I am a woman with a broken heart . . . I’ve been pouring out my heart before the Lord.”
1 Samuel 1:15
And I laid on my bed and cried. Because that’s how I feel. Because I just used that verse recently on Come So Alive’s Instagram page so it was still fresh in my memory.
