Dear Fellow Traveler,

Today is a new beginning, so says, “the Lord.” What was your prayer this morning, did you ask for guidance and how does that translate into your day? I’m in the process of moving and every day brings new challenges. Yesterday I had three possible melt downs. I say possible because it didn’t happen. I still went through the scorching fire that the enemy planned for my day, however, I was walking with the Lord and I repeatedly cried out to Him for help. I recognized the moments for what they were and said, repeatedly, help me Jesus. As I was crying out to the Lord, I felt His presence and I felt the presence of the enemy. Yes, the battle was on and I was standing on firm ground. I remember the days when I didn’t know how to do battle with the Lord beside me. I remember how the stress washed over me and my personal response mechanisms kicked in and I was ready to strike like a cobra. In the end I would discover that God had my back and what I imagined did not happen usually. In hindside, I was ashamed that I didn’t trust God. I will trust God today and grow in my trust daily. It is true, He loves me and demonstrates that love everyday in every way.
