A new morning dawning…was that rain spattering against the pane? She squinted tired swollen eyes toward the window, confirming the bleak forecast, noting the correlation of her current mindset and heart state, to the grey day outside.
Memories of the bomb dropped on her the previous day, washed over her anew, flooding her wounded soul and the raw pain returned instantly, along with every fibre within her feeling the sharp stab only to be replaced by a dull ache.
With a crushed heart and aching body, she swung her feet to the floor, forcing each step forward across the hardwood surface. Unwanted tears threatened to spill over. She thought she had used up her tear supply to last a lifetime; however, here were more!
Where had they gone wrong? Why did the straight and narrow road now look like a crooked winding path grown over with thistles and thorns? Could she ever trust again?
How does one trust after discovering the truth, and the revelation that past truths were enshrouded by lies for so long? Did truth exist anywhere? Certainly, without it, no relationship could flourish! Shattered hearts and broken lives scattered the horizon! Why? Was there some lesson in this trial? The tumbling clouds in the distance were no match for the darks clouds infiltrating her mind at this moment!
She had always been a strong person…she simply would not allow the enemy to devour her, or even gain another stronghold in her life!
With pursed lips, and determined face turned upward, she asked for the peace that passes all understanding. She cried and reached out to the only Savior who could carry her through this. The only One who could help her make sense of this, and the only One who could truly mend her broken heart and dreams, and guide her on a journey of healing to a new and glorious season!
Trust again?? It would not be easy, and would feel like an uphill climb on a jungle-covered mountain! She had the sure thing though…she just knew that she could and would trust that Heaven was working all things for her good, even in this present time of despair. After all, if she could not trust the Lord first, to carry her through, she certainly would not be able to trust anyone else either! She must trust again!
She splashed cold water across her face, soothing her puffy eyes, and she could see the Light once more! In God she would trust!

What came before to build up to this and then what followed to show that she had trusted God to some good end.
Nicely written.
