Following You, God… it’s a challenging path to keep up with.
If You were not there to pick me up when I stumble and fall,
Urge me onward when I hesitate in doubt,
And carry me when I am too weak to make it,
I would be so lost.
Many things appear along the journey and seem to suggest
I am going the wrong way,
But that is when I stop, close my eyes, and hold out my hand.
Thank You for always being faithful in taking my hand
And leading me through such blinding times,
Through darkness that can stump me and fill me with fear,
Around carefully set traps and unseen pit holes,
And away from such deceptive souls.
You preserve me, dear Lord, for Your perfect plan
And allow me to walk in Your Holy will.
I am honored to receive Your wise and loving correction.
I praise You for all that You do for me.
I pray that my obedience be eternal and prosperous,
That I might glorify the One who gave me life.
In Jesus name I pray… Amen.

Three times, in the past two weeks, the Lord God has intervened to guide me around major pitfalls. I am meant for further work.

PTL! That’s our God! And yes, you are meant for further work! We are all to be about our Father’s business, just as Jesus was when He was here! He loves to use you mightily! 🙂 He loves you!

No. I’ve been to some of our other states, but never out if the country. My son went to the Dominican Republic in high school. That was in 2006

If the Lord ever leads me and allows it, I will be glad to visit. It is highly unlikely to ever happen. I have never even been on a plane. Have you ever been to the US?
