Right Where You Are

She sat in the small room off the narrow hallway.
No door, No sheets, sterile.    Suicide watch with every 15 minutes an orderly check.
She did not dare lay down, it was the scariest time of her life.  It had finally happened and she had "cracked", lost it, broken down.  And now she was HERE.   Sitting on the stool in the corner near the toilet she held her head and cried.  Despare.  Loneliness.  The End.


A life of success....led her here?   Where was the audience now, the bright lights were a faint memory.
She heard the footsteps and did not even bother to lift her head.  She knew it was the quarter hour check.


"Sheila"  She lifts her head and a man stands in front of her.  A man she has never met or seen.  He holds a little stuffed lamb out to her. She takes it as he walks back toward the doorway.  He turns and quietly says "Sheila, the Shepherd knows right where you are."   Then he was gone.


She knows it was an angel with exact timing.  Those words kept her alive and she held on and things began to get better.


Could this be your story?  Are you feeling low, in the pit, discouraged?   HE know right where you are.  He NEVER leaves you.   Muster your strength to crawl up onto HIS lap and stay there.  He does not need you to do anything else ~  Just rest.  You will make it through


Blessings dear one
