Run to Him

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs to it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

Dear Friends,

This world is full of storms. Some are minor, others can blow us over. Recently, one of my "storms" came with a phone call from my older daughter. She started college this year and is away from home. She called to say she was in an car accident and was being taken to the hospital. Man, that's not a call a mama wants to get!

But, in that moment, I was thankful that she was able to call, that she wasn't incapacitated and unable to call herself. I immediately ran to Him. I knew only He was in control. And by focusing on Him, it helped me to be more calm through this situation. There were 5 girls in the car. And I asked God to be with each of them, their doctors, and their families. The girls were treated and released- all had only minor injuries. Again, I'm very thankful for that. It could have been so much worse. But something like that really reminds me that I'm really not in control. I may think I am sometimes, but I'm not. None of us are. Only He is. And that's why we need to run to Him. This verse is beautiful. He is our Strong Tower. We can run to Him and be SAFE. That safety may not actually be a physical safety, but it is most certainly spiritual safety. Bad things happen in this world. But even in the midst of those bad things, we can be safe in Him.

For this page, I used a new Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps set called Mighty Fortress. I love this set! It has some neat images as well as a lot of words that are very versatile. I also used Chunky Lowercase and Bitty Minnie Alpha. For the background, I used watercolor crayons.

Run to Him, my friends, run to Him. Have a blessed week! Andrea
