As soon as she stood up, the demands of her day would assail her, and she never slowed down again until she fell exhausted into bed.  The quiet peacefulness of the morning always disapeared the way mist vanishes as the sun makes its appearance.

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't.
