Why a blog?

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and soon began journaling my walk in our local paper and continuing my dream to be a writer. You meet me in between taxing kids to and fro, baking cupcakes, feeding chickens, running up and down my dirt road, fishing, sweeping the floors, stuffing the clean laundry in bathroom cabinets, researching how to get a book published, studying my next Bible Study lesson, or perhaps sitting on my back porch in the country watching my husband's deer and my purple martins. To say I am blessed is only the beginning!

Strong tower

I've had this visual of the Lord for a few years now. He is a pillar. He doesn't move or change. He's firm and grounded. He's forever stable and forever faithful. It goes with Proverbs 18:10. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run to it and are safe."

When I feel confusion and wonder if the Lord is present, overwhelmed and tired without a clear thought to stand on, or like a chicken with my head cut off running around to and fro, I only need to remind myself that I am the one running, circling, and changing.

The Lord has not changed! He is CONSTANT!

A look, a prayer, a silent plea in private to my Father and I back in connection with the Creator of the universe. That settles my soul, quiets my mind, and reminds me that safety is NEAR! I have a strong tower. Do you?
