One Day

This is something that's been on my mind for a long time and I've put it on the back burner for a while but I hope to be able to finish it this summer. Not really sure what I envision the final product to be. And I'm still debating if I want to keep posting "chapters" on my blog or rather just keep it all to myself until its finished. But anyways, here's the first part, enjoy!

The girl sat all alone. It was the first day of kindergarten and she was so terrified she barely moved, lest someone should notice her. Without a single word, with only nods and shakes of the head, she had gotten through the entire day. The moment she got home, she dropped her book bag on the floor and ran to her secret spot.

Running, she didn’t slow down until she reached the tall, gold-wrought gates. Next to the gates, on top of the large stone wall, there sat Someone so grand, clothed in robes of pure white linen. The train of His robe seemed endless, stretching on for miles and miles. His face was so high up that it was concealed in the clouds. Nonetheless, when He spoke, it wasn’t a booming sound, but a clear, calm voice. Excited to see her, He chuckled, picked her up and placed her next to Him on the high walls. She smiled at Him, swinging her legs back and forth as she sat on the wall.

“So how was your first day of school?” He asked.

“Well…You know…” she responded.

“Well of course I know, but I still want to hear it from you.”

And she began to tell Him all that had transpired during her first day of school. That’s how their conversations went. They talked for hours on end at a time. It was the one place she could open up, unashamed and unafraid to be herself. She could tell Him everything because she knew that He already knew. He knew her every thought and her every feeling. He knew her. He had made her. She was His beloved daughter.
