While I Wait Cassandra D. Reliford

Have you ever found yourself in a season of waiting? Deirdre Nichols has. Upset with God after the death of her father, Deirdre?s faith diminishes. Her heart grows cold as she fails to understand why God didn?t answer her prayers and heal her dad. Turning from everything she knows spiritually, she vows never to love again, no, not even God! However, when pushed to her wits end by a psychosomatic mother, an only sister who's (in Deirdre's eyes) bizarre behavior is unexplainable, a baby?s daddy who resurfaces to re-claim his child and his woman and then, Douglass, the man who bit by bit has begun to melt the walls of her stone heart, Deirdre struggles to keep her life together and reclaim her sanity. But when tragedy and a nasty little secret between her two best friends threatens to deepen the drama and destroy their relationship, Deirdre is convinced that her future is ruined and God doesn?t care. As her world spins out of control and tempers flare in the midst of tragedy and heartache, Deirdre finds comfort in the very thing that she was sure she?d lost, her relationship with God. ?How long Lord,? she asks, ?must I wait until I?m back on solid ground?? His answers are quiet and her heart is heavy as she resolves the answer is found ? while she waits!
