He's Watching...

-
Whenever my 2 small dogs go outside in the backyard, after walking a few feet they always look back to make sure that I am still there. I suppose they've developed this habit because from the first day of potty training them, I have always stayed at the back door waiting for them to finish doing their "business". There were two important reasons for not just putting them out there, closing the door and me coming back inside the house; 1) I wanted to watch over and protect them from any large birds or animals, (that have been known to get in my fenced yard) that could scoop them up and carry them away and 2) the door was left ajar so that if they had to run back in for any reason, there would always be an open door.
Over the years my dogs have developed a trust in me. They have remained close as "house" dogs and have been physically close to me 99 percent of the time...so they "Know" me so to speak. So when they venture out in to the territory of my large backyard, whether day, darkest night, rain or snow, even when they give me that look back to see if I am still there, they know they can trust me. They only look back once and from that point on, even in the darkness, those little pups walk confidently to handle their business. I've seen them venture out in the nastiest storms that has threatened to blow them away and yet...even though I am not physically beside them, they sense that I will be watching over them wth the door ajar...they sense that they are protected and the door to come in is always open...
We have all experienced concern and even fear during these uncertain and dangerous times. Sometimes the question comes "Does Yah (God) see what's going on? Does He care?" Let me assure you, He has not gone anywhere, He sees it ALL and He cares. For those that trust in HIM and not MAN, have Peace, for He is watching over you. Through times of anxiety and fear or feeling abandoned, you may feel that He is not there but...He is, and He not only watches over you, the door to His Sanctuary of Peace is ALWAYS opened to those that will look to HIM.
Sometimes you may not "feel" His Presence during the scary storms of life,but trust and know as you submit to His Word that says that He will NEVER leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5) He is there watching over you with arms wide open to welcome you to come into His safety...Trust HIM.
When you spend time to get to KNOW HIM, there is a relationship developed that whether you "feel" He's there or not, You Trust that He is, because He is faithful. None of us know what the days ahead will bring, but when you get to KNOW HIM, You will know that He will always be there...

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seeking” for God’s will in his life

 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;    and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 6-7 "BAM" is what I loudly heard as my car jolted forward! Sitting at the light waiting on it to turn to green, it was the last thing I expected to happen, never saw it coming. Yet it did...and loudly! The first thing I did was look in my rear view mirror and sure enough, it was not a dream, there was a car right on the back of me. I had about 60 seconds to get myself together, put the car in park, and though my heart was beating about 1,000 beats a minute...I said to myself "ok". To be honest with you, I didn't think to pray a long prayer, because in times like these, you really only have the time and ability to say one word "Jesus"...and for me it was enough.  A calmness came ove

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more compassion, instead o
