Sometimes I log into my blog and jot down a few notes and save a photo because I know I’m going to want to come back to write about it.  Today as I sat down to work I saw this post here titled “What I Want To Get Out of Telling My Story.”  I opened it up and there were just three points.

• Obedience
• Overcome
• Salvation of Souls

I’m a straight shooter and I’d say that seems pretty accurate to me.  I want to obey the call the Lord put on my life.  I want to overcome and today it felt like evil was pressing in on me.  Most of all, I want my family and friends to know Jesus and one day be with me in heaven.  The reasons are really that simple.

I needed the reminder today because I’m tired.  Warfare is no joke and we are truly suffering over here.

I don’t need to tell you everything but I will say I took a trip to the hospital in early July because I was hemorrhaging.  There’s nothing like giving my testimony unexpectedly to paramedics on the way to the hospital.

Over the weekend I had conversations with police officers that I didn’t know were going to happen.  I really appreciate the police.  No one should be afraid to call in the strong arm of the law.

Then yesterday I had to dial 911 for help.  This time it was for a family member.  I never know what the day is going to bring.  I was so relieved when I saw the flashing lights heading towards us.  Help was on the way!

A red vehicle pulled up that said incident command on the side.  The first man I saw was Chief Christian. I think one of the first things out of my mouth was, “I love your name!”  (That was a little embarrassing).

Fortunately we did not have to go to the hospital.   When everything was over I discovered that I had lost my car key.  I was asked to describe my keys to the people who were helping me search.  I said, “There is a wooden keychain attached that says,

‘GOOD MORNING This is God.  

I will be HANDLING ALL YOUR problems today.’

the other keychain says

‘Make a Difference Today!’

Just describing these reminders made me feel better and that was long before the keys turned up.  I have a lot of problems and I for one am so very thankful that the Lord can handle them all.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21
