Nails flying.
Shards of glass whirling
through the air.
Rocks coming out of no where.
Buckets of ice cold water falling from the dark sky.
On top the slippery ground.
"Screeeeeech!" a swarm of bats fly by me.
Whooooosh! The sudden gust of wind blows by me.
Rattled to my bone I shiver, cold and alone I hold my own.
Eyes open wide blind to the world outside.
"Screeeeeech!" sound the bats as they fly by me once again.
As though they are aiming for me.
The wind Woooooshing just behind.
Rattled to the bone I shiver, once again, holding my own.
I begin to run - - - run - - - run.
Where am I headed?
Do I even know?
Where am I headed?
I've no place I can go.
I am surround by nails flying, shards of glass whirling through the air, rocks falling out of no where and the ice cold buckets of water. "Kerrrrsplashhh!!"
Oh my! - I shiver - The water. I am soooooo cold. So alone. The glass it hurts. My heart so broken. I am feeling so all alone.
Slipping on the wet, cold muddy ground.
I land on my knees. I continue crawling.
I land on my knees. I continue crawling.
Where am I headed?
I don't even know.
Wait. I see a light. I keep going - it's getting brighter - I feel something!
I feel - WARMTH!
The darkness has left me.
I keep crawling until I see nothing but clear sky and sunshine and the freezing cold buckets of water stop falling. The ground begins to dry up.
I just stop for a moment to rest in the warmth of the sun.
My eyes closed - and I hear my name.
I open my eyes and I see a hand reaching out to me. I reach back.
Immediately everything is made new.
No Nails flying. No shards of glass whirling through the air.
No rocks coming out of no where. No buckets of ice cold water falling from the dark sky.
No Ugly screeching bats and no huge gusts of wind just a gentle warm breeze.
And the ground isn't muddy and slippery, it's a beautiful plush, green grass with flowers every where.
I could hardly believe my eyes.
I just stood there and stared. In response the one who called out to me, I said,
"I heard you call my name."

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.

And show him My salvation.”
