Rachel St. Gilbert, 'Wake Up Laughing'

"Often, life's challenges are like dealing with an insomniac baby. We go through all kinds of uncomfortable internal and external contortions trying to bring peace and rest to situations that wear us thin. Then, despite our efforts to get things under control, we step on a squeaking duck or, worse yet, on a 'vial of nitro' (those doggone emotional land mines). The pitfalls of life are unavoidable. Yet if we become as a little child and call out to God, He will gather us into His arms and still our souls."
