1-7 “I’ve made myself available
to those who haven’t bothered to ask.
I’m here, ready to be found
by those who haven’t bothered to look.
I kept saying ‘I’m here, I’m right here’
to a nation that ignored me.
I reached out day after day
to a people who turned their backs on me,
People who make wrong turns,
who insist on doing things their own way.
My take today is a tough one. I haven't told you everything that has been happening in our little home.....but, it is tough. Its serious and things sometimes feel completely out of control. The tough part for me is that I'm screaming to God to show up. Max has asked God to show up.....and yet I don't really see it or feel it. I know Max doesn't. He is really angry with God.
So, I read this and think.....hmmm.
Perhaps when I look back on this time of life, I will see God's presence more clearly than I do now. I suppose the right thing to do is keep asking for his help, even if I don't feel like I'm getting satisfaction. At least that way I'm relying on him, but not tying my reliance on the outcome.
lots to think about

I picked out part of the same section you did. For me I think I do not go to God often enough and this verse hit me because he has his hand out to me but am I grabbing for guidance everyday or just when I need him as a last resort. Sadly for me too often its the ladder.
I read your note and it hurts my heart for your family and Max. I don't need to know the details, I just want you to know I am praying for you and for God to really show up and bring you through this darkness. God be with Max, show him a path out of whatever challenge is on him. Give Todd and Kim strength to guide Max and love on him through all situations, lighten their load I pray. God I just pray you show up in a big way for this family I love. Amen.
