Blooming in the Whirlwind : Finding God in a Busy Life

By: Judy Esway

Blooming in the Whirlwind, Finding God in a Busy Life by Judy Esway."These words on a card I saw recently express it so well. This is the urgency. Live! And have your blooming in the noise of the whirlwind. The whirlwind...my life. I learned a secret years ago. Whirlwinds can't kill. They're just a bunch of hot air. They come and go and usually just blow themselves out. It is possible to be calm, to grow, to develop, and to be transformed in spite of the stormy weather that often typifies my life. If, that is, I pray. I have to pray...every day." So begins Judy Esway's book of conversational prayers.These brief meditations, based on Scripture, are about the everyday stuff of life that everyone knows about: worrying too much, dealing with stress and anger, rejoicing in the birth of a grandchild, or finding consolation after the death of a loved one. God is her friend, and she hides none of her moods in prayer. But the point is that she prays no matter what kind of mood she is in.She writes, "Really, it's about a love affair - my love affair with God. You may see yourself from time to time as you read, for are there any of us who are very different, deep down inside? We all want to be loved. And the surprising, astonishing truth is...we are!"
