Be still!" - Mark 4:39 *** Is love blind? Does love deny the existence of wounds? Of scars? In the eyes of Chase Jones, these questions and more are all that ever stay within the storm that is his life. All else in its path either runs or faces its demise. To survive this path alone, he first had to accept the word as truth. Alone. Until his butterfly returned, rippling his sea with each flutter of her wings, stirring new hopes, dreams, and the dangerous possibility that the word alone may be yet another thing he will have no choice but to let go of. To let go of such a reality would be a risk, one he is unprepared for. While it is the answer to his most desperate prayers, it is also the fear that strengthens the storm.

The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" - Mark 4:38 When Rose told Jack she would never let go, Abigail may have taken it to heart a little too much. Chase Jones. The name alone fills her with dread, and Abigail is pretty positive she'll hold this hatred in her heart until the moment she takes her final breath.

But things take an unexpected, one-hundred-and-eighty degree turn when she stumbles upon a secret he tried so desperately to keep hidden. She begins to dream of life in foster care through the eyes of a little boy who wants nothing more than to experience unconditional love. To him, it would be like living in a fairytale. The kind of fairytale Abigail has lived in her entire life. After hearing about a family in need, Abigail finds her heart breaking for whoever they might be. Being the helper that she is, she decides to volunteer herself, but soon discovers just who she signed up to help. She knows this won't be easy. What she has yet to fully grasp is that, just as every storm has a starting point, every person has a story, and every story has at least one storm.

"Hey Mark!" I said, walking to the stage. I walked up the stairs carefully. After all, I was wearing wedges and preferred to stay out out the hospital. "Hey Macie," he replied. "Could you get the songs on the stands for me?" "Sure," I said, taking the two folders out of his backpack. I opened each one and had started placing the music on the stands when I heard the door open. I expected it to be either Carly, Denver or Amanda, but when I turned around, I saw that it was my mother. Her hair was wild and her eyes frightened as she opened her mouth to speak.
