Thank You, Lord!

Following a relatively normal, stressful week, today was a great day for me!  It was a long day and I was a little nervous going in to it.  I attended the late church service this morning, not a comfort zone for me (I'm a born 8 o'clocker,) to participate in a special friend's Holy Confirmation ceremony.  I stayed through the coffee hour/reception after.  Each of these is, for me, an accomplishment by itself, but we also had a lunch at the priest's home for the Bishop and members of the church vestry.  Now, any of these alone can be an opening for the ogre to stop by for an anxiety visit, but together they could well be an engraved invitation.  Not even a nudge from that Satan's spawn.

Tomorrow I'm driving to Fresno again.  I'm taking another friend, who doesn't drive, to Fresno for a doctor appointment.  Because of the incident three weeks ago, I feel I'm again pushing the envelope.  But after the protection you gave me and the sign you allowed me to see following that incident, I'm comfortable, knowing we'll be in your care and will have the power of the Holy Spirit with us.

Thanks and praise to you, Lord!
