#safesecure

This morning the dogs were ready to get up, but I was not. I wanted a few more minutes. I felt it was a bit chilly, and I could hear the wind howling, so I curled up and pulled the blanket over my head. There, I was safe, secure and warm for a bit longer. Everything which was going on OUT THERE was no longer an issue or a concern, because right then, at that moment in time, I was where I needed to be, to feel safe from everything around me. As I began drifting back to sleep, my mind began hearing a soft and soothing voice telling me that this is how life with Jesus is always. I remember catching myself smiling as I drifted off and more visions came. I do not say dreams, because well my dreams are very rare and even more odd in nature. These visions were soothing and reassuring. Letting me know as long as I kept Jesus' will, He would keep me secure, just as the blanket was now. It did not mean I would not be faced with howling winds or frigid cold or even dogs tugging on me when they wanted something, but knowing where to go when all this happens ; knowing where to seek refuge in the midst of the chaos: well that is more than half the battle. Thank you Jesus for being my warming blanket and my safe space in the midst of life.
