This is our last weekend as a family before Chris leaves for Africa. Audrey notices when he's gone for awhile, wondering where that man is. We have moved around so much since she was born and there has been so much confusion and chaos for this poor little soul. I can only put thoughts to her silence and think that there is more change coming up soon. But as a mom I care for her and I hope to ease her little mind that this is a place to stay. No changes yet. We are here to stay. This is a guarded oasis. A place to grow and a place to explore in safety.
I myself need a lot of reassurance that things will be OKAY. That I am protected from harm. I am not in danger. I am safe. Just like this child burrows in my shoulder or hides in her dada's arms for comfort and safety, I am like that to God. I hide under His arms, His wings, His shadow for refuge and comfort. To feel safe. To feel secure. I am thankful I have Him.
"He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection." Psalm 91:4
"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Psalm 32:7
