Picture Dees #21 Safely Ashore

As this seal takes its place on the lava rock shore off the Pacific Coast, behind the scenes park rangers scramble to gather the necessary signs to put around it. Warning signs set out to give the seal its needed space to either go back into the water or live out its life where it was.

We often think that life has us washed ashore but in reality we are there for a reason whether it's a period of needed R & R by the ocean instead of being in it or whatever. Although we may never see the barriers or warning signs God puts up to Satan telling him to stay away or keep his distance God indeed is working behind the scenes on our behalf. As the seal crawled ashore on its own we need to do the same. Doing our part in trusting God will watch over us during these time periods in our lives as the park rangers scrambled to watch over this seal. Although the seal may not always hit the right shore to lie upon where there is a park ranger around to watch over it, there's not a shore we can land upon that God is not present to watch over us. Praise the Lord!

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
