This morning Mike and I did a walk around the back of our house and lo, there were rocks up against the wall where spying individuals had been peaking over the very tall wall. Two small rocks. This must be one tall fellow…
Anyway, we tossed those away and went walking again this evening. There was a rock a little further on but I don’t think it was possible to stand on it. We’ll go again tomorrow.
This afternoon I was feeling so very discouraged. Someone had been around to give us a quote and could offer us absolutely no encouragement regarding the crime situation. It was so disappointing. I went down to the Mall to pick something up and was feeling at an all time low. My heart was in my boots. I felt so hopeless and helpless. I started to pray. “Lord,” I said, “please encourage me, I need a sign, please send me someone I know.” As I prayed it, I slightly shook my head – don’t ask for a sign, I thought, but the prayer was out before I knew it and as I took another step forward, I heard a little voice behind me. I turned and there was RIANA! My closest friend! I was speechless. I told her what had happened and she was as amazed as I! She took me out for tea and we had a quick cuppa before I came home, feeling a whole lot lighter than when I left.
#408 of my 1000 thanks is we are not forgotten. God is with us. We can trust Him. He is watching over us and everything is going to be okay, so just chill, Helga
2 Corinthians 4:9-10
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
This is emotional pain and anxiety that I am feeling, but God is bigger.
We just have to ride out the storm.
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
Helga xx 🙂
