In The Good Times and In The Bad Times
October 9, 2001

Our Thoughts:

We go about our daily lives, especially, if all is well, not realizing that anything can happen at any moment. One moment, our lives our without problems, and, in a split second, that all changes. That's what happened with me. On Thursday night, I went to bed, healthy and excited about my trip and the return home. I got up, as usual, the next morning, got myself ready and my belongimgs ready to go. I was excited and the trip started off perfectly. But, the day wasn't to be perfect.

I know that God was with me throughout the trip. We had a great time, great time of fellowship, and I got to meet my longtime friend, Peggie, of Peggie's Place. In fact, I suppose that was the greatest highlight of my trip, for I had waited for that for five years or more. So, there were certainly some great times before the bad.

God is with us wherever we go, although we might not rely on Him as much as we ought. Looking back, I feel perhaps I let my guard down in praying for a hedge of covering over me as I went on the trip and back. It's always my priority to do that, but the trip got in my mind, and I overlooked that which was most important at that time. The enemy is always there, waiting, watching, to see what we will do that will give him leeway in our lives to cause the kind of havoc he caused in mind that morning. My life will forever be changed, but I'm believing in a full recovery, and a miracle in that hip from God Almighty. He has brought me through other things in my life, and gave me victory, and victory is what I will have at the end of this recovery!

God's Thoughts:

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Our Cup:

Heavenly Father, I know you are with me everywhere I go. Help me to realize that you can keep me from all harm, if only I put my whole life in your hands. I give you praise. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
