Susan Sleeman here. We had an earthquake Sunday night. Not a big one.
Just a 3.3 and we were a few miles from the epicenter. No damage. No injuries. Still,
our house shook twice as my hubby, daughter, and I looked at each other. We've
experienced bigger quakes so I knew immediately it was an earthquake. Nothing else
feels quite like the rolling of the ground beneath your feet and let me tell
you, nothing makes you feel as helpless either.
This made me think about Dark
Tide, my latest book release and final book in my Justice Agency series. The hero Derrick Justice lost his birth parents
in a car accident and his adoptive parents were murdered. He doesn't want to
experience such loss again so he puts all kinds of controls in place so he can
make sure bad things don't happen in his life. But, as we all know, you can't control
everything.
Like the earthquake. We could do nothing to stop it. Nothing. And experiencing that unsettling shaking of my home served as a reminder to me, a control freak of sorts, that God is in control
and I need to rest in the assurance of His control rather than try to fight it.
What about you? Have you experienced an earthquake or another situation
where you were totally out of control? How did you react? Did it change your
thinking?
DARK TIDE

A long time ago, Denver had a series of earthquakes. I remember we had one in the middle of the night. I rushed out of my room, worried that the huge mirror my parents had over the sofa would fall. What I thought I could do about it, I don't know. This I know, earthquakes make you realize you are not in control.
Isn't it amazing the things that come to mind in a situation like an earthquake, Leann? This one was over so fast I didn't even have time to think of anything other than to realize it was a quake.
