Sing Me Back Home (Bluff Creek Novel #2) by Amanda Mason

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story impacted me in a way that made me question the Bible verse, 2 Corinthians 6:14. "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" If God wanted Melanie to not be with Lane, why did he bring them together? I must remember that God has plans for us that are unknown. We also know He works in ways we can't see. Although, God led Melanie and Lane back together, the one thing Melanie lost sight of was that God was working in Lane's life and that is something that should have been rejoiced. God resurrected Melanie's career when she started listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit. I know how painful that can be, but sometimes the best decisions we can make are the most painful ones. The draw between Lane and Melanie should have been a clue to what the Holy Spirit had planned, but sometimes we are so caught up in ourselves that we become blind to the Lord's plan. This story was painful for me to read, but I took away a freedom that opens my life up to possibilities; something that was taken away last year at this time. The truth is that we are the light in a dark and hungry world. It's the light of our love that will open a heart to God. So Sing Me Back Home brings all those fears we have as a Christian to the forefront, but it also shows that God's plans for us are good, even if they do bring some pain along the way.
