“Do not be anxious....”

~ Jesus 

in Matthew 6:25-34

~ Paul 

in Philippians 4:6

Somewhere deep within, hidden from my awareness until dawning recently, was the expectation that we would move into the Airstream, embark on visiting new and exciting places, meet new and exciting people, and live happily ever after.

This has happened 
that we might not rely on ourselves

but on God Who raises the dead.

He has delivered us from such a deadly peril

and He will deliver us again.

On Him we have set our hope 
that He will continue to deliver us.

II Corinthians 1:9,10

Bub, our safe bubble was threatened by water damage. The water line under the kitchen sink dripped water, and from our eyes poured tears as we cried to God again.

"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known

Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them."

Is 42.16

I felt like the lone duck drifting along the surface of the spacious lake at the park. The afternoon sun created dancing diamonds on the water. A cool breeze made winter coats a necessity despite the April sunshine. Sitting on the strip of beach surrounded by greening mountains was a Sabbath day delight. Janelle and I inhaled the beauty. Although this was a foretaste of the possibilities of our “backyard” in the coming days, I felt alone and undirected/rudderless/afloat with the myriad of options before me.
