Come to Me, My beloved. Rest with Me.

I’m afraid. I cannot.

Do not fear, My beloved. Rest with Me.

I love you. But I cannot.

I’ll hold you, My beloved. Rest with Me.

I cannot. I don’t know how.

I’ll show you, My beloved. Rest with Me.

You’ll show me? How to rest?

Start slowly, My beloved. It’s all right.

Walk towards you? Just like this?

Just like that, My beloved. I’ve got you.

I’m not sure…I’m nervous.

I know that, My beloved. Here’s My hand.

Okay, then. Here’s mine.

Embrace Me, My beloved. You’re safe.

I am safe, aren’t I?

Yes you are, My beloved, yes you are.

I love you. I really do.

I know it, My bride. Now rest in My love.

I will, my King, I will.

Christina lives at the foothills of the Rocky mountains in Colorado with her two beautiful children and gracious husband, and will not be found at any time of day without something delicious to drink. Her favorites include cappuccinos, iced tea, sparkling water, and her husband’s lovingly crafted cocktails.
