No Matter Where

By Kathryn Merriam

SJ and Anja haven’t gone anywhere—at least not physically—but it seems everything has changed. And this is just the beginning.

SJ came back to her physically, but as he stared at the sky, he realized that for all he had told her, he may be more emotionally distant than before the war. Maybe not. It wasn’t as clear as the stars were. But no matter where his heart had tried to hide, that is how he felt. And it hurt more than the bullet to his shin.

Anja wouldn’t be able to go through that again and still stand. She wouldn’t be able to do that and still breathe. Thump. Living just wasn’t the same without her.

God testifies, “Faith doesn’t make things go away. Faith means there is always light, because no one has the power to darken the truest and brightest light, and I will never go away, I will never cower or run from the dark; only I can give you the power to overcome the dark.”

We meet again to continue their story—and your story—one that now asks: will SJ and Anja close their hearts and minds to God’s light as life throws seemingly unbearable punches of fear and loss, or will they open their eyes and ears to behold God’s light as the burning fire within victoriously withstands the fiery stings of the enemy?
