Notes
I would like to heartily thank my agent, Joel Kneedler, and the helpful staff at Alive Communications; Vicki Crumpton and the supportive team at Revell/Baker Books; and Hannah Crider for administrative assistance on this book project.
A bouquet of thank-yous to dear friends, family, and my prayer team: Dad, Mom, Monica and Kit Dennis, Jennifer Johnson, Michael and Amy Zenda-Johnson, Maribeth Sacho, Anne Caddell, Laurie Kreuser, Kim Brunner, Barbara Shimek, Tina Wenning, Maria Martellotto, Lynn Carpenter, Tammy and Paul Houge, Nicole and Sumeet Gulati, Cindy and Gary Coy, Erica and Eric Ensign, Diana and Jeff Keener, Judy Gire, Alice Crider, and Judy Downing. I am honored and blessed by your encouragement and prayers.
Many thanks to my faithful Wednesday night Bible study for your prayers and encouragement: Denise Sharp, Doug Platt, Tait Cyrus, Audrey Davis, Sue Eilertsen, Melissa Sturgis, Mary Kimnach, Connie Ekberg, Andrea Archer, and Alicia McCall. To my writer/editor group led by Susan Mathis, AWSA friends, and people with whom I work at Christian Camp and Conference Association (CCCA), I greatly appreciate your prayer support.
I am beyond grateful to those whove been bricks, beams, and mortar in my spiritual journey: my parents, Robert J. Johnson and Patti Ripani, who provided me and my siblings with a spiritual foundation; Lisa Burchell Shimon, who built on that base by pointing me toward a life-changing relationship with Christ; and Pastor Brady Boyd and Pam, who encourage and challenge us often to pray big, audacious prayers.
Thank you, mostly, to my Wild Hope and yours, Jesus Christ. You are immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).
Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
Psalm 142:6
Y ou see overwhelmed and errand-weary people every day, people who are busy, broke, or barely living. Perhaps you are one of them. Whether youre coping with sudden trauma or dealing with the frustrations of everyday life, you know too well the realities of disappointment, uncertainty, longing, or lack. Maybe youre stressed from trying to balance work and home life. Or youve been unemployed for months and the stack of unpaid bills is piling higher than snow in the Rockies. Could it be that someone you love has left you or passed on, and you havent a clue how life will ever work again? Maybe youre in desperate need and there never seems to be enoughenough money, enough love, enough timeand youre simply tired of it.
Everyone faces hardship in life. How do you deal with it? When tough times get you down, how do you cope?
Our hurts and heartbreaks form us. They leave an imprint on the landscape of our heartssome a small dent, others a deep impression. Whether its a literal flood that destroys your belongings or a flood of tears, the terrain of your heart changes and you are never the same. Outside circumstances or your own poor choices may have left you desert dry or completely eroded, feeling worn and weary. But it doesnt have to stay that way.
