All Things Are Possible

February 14, 2019 Leave a Comment

“With God all things are possible.” I put these words in a poem, and later added them to a painting (“Her Heart Is Light.”) I believe this with all my heart. And yet, I also believe that “all things” are not always the things we think they are. They are not our wishes and desires this side of heaven.

It’s okay to tell God you don’t understand what’s happening. To be angry. Tell him everything. Show him everything. (He already knows so you don’t need to hide.) When you’re hurting and confused at the path your life has taken, go to Him.

I struggle with understanding the love He has for me. People that know me really, really well know exactly why. I’ve gone through horrible things and still go through things (like everyone), but I also have blessings. A beautiful life that I cherish.

I don’t know everything. I don’t understand why one person seems to have so much while another doesn’t. Or why some children grow up with supportive, loving parents and others are hit and abused and told how worthless they are. I don’t know why people hurt you and then lie about the fact that they did and then get angry with you because you don’t embrace that lie. I don’t know why some people are so kind and loving and others are cruel.

The older I get, the more I understand how little I know. But I know God is here. I don’t always understand what He is doing or how, but I will keep reaching out to him, keep praying. Even if my prayers are “Why” and “please” and “help” and all the not so pretty prayers that occupy our hearts and minds… I will keep praying because I do believe with God all things are possible.

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
