Your words are so encouraging and beautifully written. Thinking of and praying for your friend that she finds comfort, falling in total trust of God and His tender care for her. I have had a really rough last few years and some very intense moments and periods where I was free-falling. My mentor said to me that God is utterly trustworthy. She was right. I had never had to put my trust in the Lord so fully and just fall freely, allowing Him to catch me. I spoke Psalm 23 aloud over and over to remind myself of who I cling to as I fall. It has been a faith-building experience, one that I must remind myself of in times of rest and comfort that I sometimes fall back into complacency.
I have been soberly reminded of the deep spiritual warfare we are in all around us. I am about to start a devotional by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman who has written extensively about the Sheepdog analogy. I believe you are a strong Sheepdog, Ginger, standing up to the evil in this world. Your boldness is encouraging in the face of so much evil. Grossman’s latest devotional is: “On Spiritual Warfare: 22 Warning Orders for Virtuous Warriors”. I am so weak. I know I need to armor up and cling to my Savior. Thanks for the faith reminder that our God is utterly trustworthy, even when we are in total free fall.
I love your analogy of these movies. I just might have to rewatch them! Thank you for softly touching my heart with your writings. Only God Almighty can save us from the evil all around.

Another beautifully written piece Ginger. You have a great gift. TY
