Tabitha frowned. What is that?
she wondered, glancing around the room. The voice was so quiet she could barely
hear it, and it seemed to be inside her mind.
Daughter,
I have heard you this day. You are not forgotten.
A
sob broke from Tabitha’s chest and she put a fist to her mouth.
Your
husband has been called to the work and will be called upon to make many
sacrifices. But you are in my hands, and I will lead you if you have faith sufficient
to listen.
It
took Tabitha a few breaths to process the words. “I will, Father. I will have
faith,” she murmured. Quieting, she waited for more, but the voice was gone.
The peace from the moment remained, however, and Tabitha allowed herself to revel
in it for a bit longer before pushing up to her feet.
