2 " I like being a thief.''And he liked being a rake - but there always comes a time for change, oui?' She stood and dusted off the back of her skirt. 'When you are ready, Jesus will forgive you. As He did Lukas.'Why did her life keep filling up with all these people who wanted to talk about Jesus? Willa shook her head. 'Why would I want Him to do that?''Because' - Margot smiled as if it were all as simple as two plus two - 'that is when He can start piecing us back together.'Willa's breath caught as the girl returned to her spot.

Calling us to Him. To His work. If maybe that's what He's doing now, providing us a way out of the life we made for ourselves. "
