Longing (2011)
“He hadn’t slept well last night, realizing that today would’ve been the day he proposed to Bailey were it not for his conversation with Dayne. Brandon set the hot cup on the balcony railing and stared out at the faint pinks over the Pacific. The sun was up, but it wouldn’t clear the mountain behind him for another half an hour. It was the time of morning Brandon liked the most.
He breathed in, loving the way the ocean air felt in his lungs. In the days since meeting with Dayne he’d done a lot of praying. Spent more time than usual reading 1 Timothy and Philippians and Hebrews and Romans. About being surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and not wanting anyone to cut in on the race he was running, wanting to push ahead with endurance.
Eyes on the cross.
Brandon took a sip of his coffee and let his eyes settle on the horizon, the perfect straightness of it. In the journey of life ahead, he wanted nothing more than to be that straight line. Perfect in dependability, always unyielding ...to the temptations of the world, the darkness in it.MoreLess
