Dearest God,

The way home is complicated, full of unexpected twists and turns, ups and downs, dead ends, construction and thousands of exits.  How in the world are we expected to arrive home?

I've been on the long road home for a very, very long time.  I've gotten lost, taken wrong turns and missed my exits and on ramps.  I've spent a good deal of time at dead ends.  Oh, I don't even want to think of how long I spent there.  I've gone round and round on those rotaries failing to find the right road.

But the sweet thing is I never sensed your loss.  I always believed you were with me.  Your presence gave me courage to dwell for a while, then pick up, turn on and start all over again.  I never understood the constancy of your continuing presence except for love.

You are God;
there is
no one
who loves
like you.
Although we make
so many mistakes
on the
road home,
you still
ride along
with us.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
