Dangerously Safe

This is a story of faith and resilience. It's a story of steadfast obedience. And it's a story that shores up the belief that you are never lost as long as God has His eye on you.

Everyone has a road that he or she must travel in life. And like all roads, life's road will undoubtedly have its share of twists and turns. You will experience pleasantries and hazards in your travels. For the most part, you expect to hit some rough patches, some potholes, if you will. You may even momentarily veer off course and become lost, only to make some minor detours, a few alterations and adjustments-and all is once again well. But what if you were suddenly forced out of the course of your journey and faced a head–on crash with the harsh realities of life? And what if you were suddenly lost, in completely unfamiliar and even frightening territories? There was no warning, no detour, and no turning back? And what if the only way out was through? And finally, what if the journey back took seven years? Enjoy.
