a nerve

Something happened yesterday that really hit a nerve. It's the kind of thing where you don't see it coming . . . totally cool one minute & side-swiped the next. Knocked the wind of out me.

This morning, I found myself unable to sleep & really tearful over something that "seems" so insignificant. So I began to ask myself the question, "What's REALLY going on here?" As I reflected, and opened a book that I recently got (The Seven Desires of Every Heart - which I highly recommend, by the way), it occurred to me that the "insignificant" thing is actually very significant when I look deep into my soul.

One of the desires of every heart is to be chosen - chosen in different ways. And yesterday, I was excluded. It hurt more than I imagined it could.
