Protected

One of the things that discourages me most is not being able to blog everyday.  I was able to do so when I began this journey a couple of years ago but so much has taken place between now and then.  I still love ladies and ministering to them.   I feel like I have lived through so much of what they have experienced. 

Today, I read where a friend of mine has been married to her high school sweetheart for 30 years.  My best friend ever has been married to her high school sweetheart for longer than that.  Unfortunately, alot has taken place during that time. 

One of the things we have experienced is aging parents.  Speaking to my BFF, I know that she is living that journey herself. 

The other day as I drove, I thought "God how do we survive this?"  I have no idea how to walk this walk.  As I drove, I saw a red wasp land on the windshield of my vehicle.  I jumped and let out a little yell. 

I am terrified of wasps.  I thought "Oh my goodness, if it stung me, I'd be done!"  Then I relaxed as I realized that the wasp was on the outside.  I was protected by the windshield!

Then it all came in focus.  It doesn't matter what I face or what journey God puts me through, the harm, the damage, the threat I feel is only within me. Just like I was protected from the wasp by the windshield, I am protected by God.

Do not be afraid of that which can not hurt you.  We fear things that our God protects us from just like that wasp and the windshield.  

Nothing that I fear can touch me because my God is bigger.  I am protected!

The Lord is my light and my Salvation.  Whom shall I fear?  Psalm 27:1
