I love to be awake before the sun rises. Let me be clear. I love to be awake shortly before the sun rises. Such a quiet peaceful time. Squirrels and birds shuffling through leaves. Among the few awake early to be witness to the dawn of a new day.
"They are like a tree, planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; It's leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers." Psalms 1:3

I read a book called "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave
This is an exciting story of two women's courage. Little Bee is the name of the first character, from Africa, learning how to survive from the men who will kill her. She lives in a state of mental and physical unrest only because of where she is from. Her country has been attacked and her village and family have been slaughtered for the oil in the ground. She finds a strong will to live and to make it to a place where she doesn't have to worry. For her, there isn't such a place. The second character, is named Sarah. She is struggling to find the meaning to her life, her career, her marriage, being a mother. Suddenly her husband dies and Little Bee comes into her life. The story is intriguing how the two women need each other and they teach each other things about themselves they didn't know about confidence, self worth, love and selflessness. It reads fast. Great, fantastic, lovely book.
