Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - Day Twenty-One... God's Protection
Dear Father God,
Today I want to thank You for You protection. In looking back on my life, I see so many times that You have shielded me from harm... and even death itself. I remember taking all those pills... and then prayed You would take me. Lord, You saw more to that life... so much more than that teenager could ever have imagined. You had a plan... You saw a woman of God... and You lifted me up and carried me to a new path. You saved me from myself that night.
You continued to protect me countless times as I made bad decisions, and You were always there as I suffered consequences... In looking back, I know I was spared from harm so many times... so many times things could have been so much worse.
You then protected my marriage as I cried out to You to save something beyond fixing... As I cried out to You and repented of all the sins committed in our marriage... You again, lifted us up and carried us from the mire we'd grown accustomed to and showed us a new path. We began to see You... and saw more.
You protected my children. In every pregnancy, through shingles in my sixth month with my second child, and when You breathed life into him after he came out and was lifeless... me and baby through unexplained stomach pain in the sixth month of my fifth pregnancy... our son when he stepped on a big wire that went through the bottom of his bare foot, stopping it at the bone and giving him strength during the entire process of prying it out and taking him to the emergency room... You protected a little hand of my one year-old caught in the bike spokes, not even leaving a cut... the kids from countless "owees"... and my step-son more times than I'm aware. Lord, I rest assured in Your protection while they're out of my sight.
You continue to protect my husband physically and mentally as he goes through the most trying times of his life right now. Thank You for guarding his heart... thank You for placing Your hands around him as the enemy fights for his life. Thank You for again, lifting us up and carrying to yet another path You have laid with You mighty plans left to be fulfilled.
Thank You for Your protection through all of our storms Lord. Even though You haven't protected us in the way I thought You would... You have always been there and shielded us . Thank You for protecting our hearts Lord. Please continue to shield us from the enemy's hands so we can serve You all of our days. Through all of the storms we will walk through, we will continue to remember all You have brought us through and we will know You are there... as You have always been... and that we are safe.

Amy,
Thanks so much for visiting and for your concern. All is well, I just got behind on blogging. Unfortunately, I sometimes let all the days run together. I am working on completing my days, 16-22 so stop by again when you have a moment. This has been a blessing for me.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striv- ing to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have child- ren), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
