----NO FEAR WITH JESUS ~~

--"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
--[2 Timothy 1:7/ KJV] --

--Leaving our ranch is about the last thing we want to do, but with my husband's job relocation, we have to move. Will we find a place we'll like? Do we have to sell our cattle? Fear looms so large over me that I'd bet it has snow on the upper peak. I have to get outside where I can pray without a ceiling in my way. I saddle Jack. With BlueDog at our heels, we climb through sage and pines, but I scarcely notice. I've packed my problems along with me. Worry only escalates.

A hawk's scream startles me. It screams again, upset. Two little backbirds dive at the red-tailed hawk, driving the predator away from their hidden nest. The hawk is a giant compared to the blackbirds, but in nature, attitude trumps size. Hmmm. Couldn't my fifty-pound BlueDog direct an entire herd of twelve-hundred- cows without so much my fingernail? The Bible overflows with encouragement for strength against towering odds. What about David killing Goliath with a slingshot? "Nothing is impossible with God."

I take a deep breath. How often has God left me without a solution? Never. How often has God turned something that seems horrible into something better than I could ever imagine on my own? I'm asked to trust Him in this. If God has decided to plant us in a new place, then bring it on. I'm going to give Him glory all the way.

My chin lifts. Well, Big Problem, is that the best you can do?

--"Lord Jesus, thank You for making me brave. against my giants of this world. You alone can make the impossible not just possible, but a a spirit-living adventure. No matter what, I will always trust in You, my Lord, Savior and Redeemer. In Christ. --Amen"
