These poems were written during a traumatic time in my life--the unexpected loss of my job as children's pastor at my church in Iowa. Deeply wounded, betrayed by those who I had believed to be personal friends, unjustly "asked to resign" (aka terminated), and reeling from it all, I felt like I had lost everything while serving Christ faithfully. Job is the one person from the Bible that we are never encouraged to emulate, quite honestly, because none of us really WANT to emulate him. Still, life often feels as though God has voluntold us for many of our unexpected trials. So we sit and wait for His answer through the pain, heartache and seeming silence.
