Who do you turn to?

I gotta tell ya… someone was living his best life this evening. First time off leash and he did so good… I wish I had the photo of when he went running into the tide pool that I could see was deep and well he found out quickly… made me reflect…

We go through life carefree and just going strong with “our” agenda, living life and not thinking what we are running into until…. We are in over our head and as with big man today his first instinct was to look back and see where I was, was I jumping in after him… he thought through it, swam out and ran over for his comfort, his safe spot at my feet…

Isn’t that how we are with Our Father? So often we just go forward with life…situations look ok and then Bam… we are in the midst of a mess, in over our head. I don’t know about you all but more often than not my first instinct is to phone a friend… when in reality I should be looking up and asking Father for guidance, what He wants me to do, not what everyone else’s opinions are… I should be dropping at his feet and asking for His wisdom and guidance…

Actually the picture of him and I together that’s where I was, on my knees waiting on Him. I walked the entire end of the island, halfway back realized I dropped my keys (how could I miss them)… I was frustrated and I just dropped. Knowing God had to lead me, that was a big area to cover.

I asked a family with children if they saw them which they hadn’t but it turned into a family treasure hunt looking. Another couple of girls saw them and left them lay knowing someone would be looking… a small group setting where they were got up and started helping me look… then finally a lady who picked them up and saw us all looking asked if that was what I was looking for… thank you Jesus!

Now, I had walked all the way back to the sound side and it would have been easy to be discouraged and cut across by road but I knew that was not Gods plan … it was a much longer walk than I had anticipated but Hod was faithful. These pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the evening was.. thankful I didn’t walk away and I went the harder route… thankful for the extra time with my Father… it’s been a rough day but reality is God is always faithful…
