Hello all! So I thought I would blog again...because I like to. But this time, it's not inspirational. Well it kinda is. It's more on the depressing side however. So I warn you now. If you wish not to be saddened then stop reading now. I recently just finished a book by the illustrious Julie Lessman. This book was called "A Love Surrendered." So there's really only word for this book and that is "WOW!" I mean outstanding! Absolutely fantastic! Everything about it was typical Julie Lessman. The twists and the turns and the unexpected thrills. But let's be honest. I ended up sobbing at the end! NO! It's not a SAD ending necessarily. Here's the thing. This book was the very end of the O'Connor family series. You have to understand the turmoil I was experiencing. Make yourself feel as I felt. You've grown attached to this family. You've enjoyed seeing them grow up and make life altering decisions. And this, this is the end. The very end. It was difficult to muddle through. I dreaded turning every page for fear that it would all vanish too quickly. As one of my all time favorite literature characters, Anne Shirley, once said, "I'm afraid to speak or move for fear that all this wonderful beauty will just vanish..." It was so hard to know that it would soon be coming to an end. But through all the tears and the heartache, I look back on the entire saga and realize that is was all for good. The stories crafted my look of love, my passion for God, and my heart for others. I'm sorry to have ranted for some random reason but it was just a little something from the sweet spot of my heart.
