"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love." 

"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body."

"You have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, Your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent." 
~ Psalm 91:9-10 NASB

Last evening I witnessed a neighbors trailer being scouted out & then broken into
. . . honestly for a few moments I wavered on "what to do"
. . . I believe it was my heart
that knew what the correct thing was to do but I believe it was my mind
that wanted to argue it a bit . . . or maybe that was reverse, I am pondering
the difference between the heart & mind . . . anyhoot . . . I knew what they were doing was wrong & needed to be confronted . . . but as well I was a bit hesitant for some human flesh concerns ( to put it one way ) were rapidly swirling about
. . . by the grace of God & the encouragement of Jesus I did the right thing 
. . . the owners of the trailer do not reside there, this trailer has been a continous work in progress
for them . . . three years
back they gave me their cell numbers but untill this moment I never called them . . . again by the grace of God
I located the numbers & was able to make contact
. . . turns out that they were in NJ attending a loved ones funeral & no they had not given any individuals permission to enter the residence & remove any item . . . from there they requested I call the local police
. . . with my mind & heart still battling
a wee bit I literally stammered & stuttered to the police what little I knew & what was taking place . . . during the call the individuals
began to leave & I had a feeling "too little, too late" BUT again by the pure Mercy & Grace of God
the police
were able to understand my gibberish & were able to apprehend ALL individuals involved
. . . the police
arrived here & we literally discussed it in detail for over two hours
. . .during this time period naturally the "local scouters" emerged & creeped about . . . watching & observing, tallying . . . again my mind
began the "moans" . . . mmmm, now you done! you are marked! retailation is in the making . . . mmm, mmmm. mmmm
. . . perhaps BUT I feel that is when the Holy Spirit spoke up by assuring me "If God is for you, who can be against you?" . . . which then I heard/felt the word "conform" . . . mmmm, yes
. . . so many of us ( myself included ) do a great "talk" of what we would have done in any "situation" but honestly when it comes down to it, will we do the "walk"? or will we instead "conform" & turn our heads because it does not involve us or it is none of our business? but aren't humanes, our brothers & sisters, are business? Honestly it is easier to sit there & cluck your tongue
to your cheek & say "oh ain't that a shame" "what is this world coming too" "that is just wrong! SOMEONE should do something!" . . . it is much easier fer sure but just because it is easier doesn't always mean it is right or for the better . . .
I give HUGE
kudos to the Police! I give continous PRAISE & GLORY to God & Jesus!

God, I face many dangers every day, but none are stronger that You. Thank You for protecting me and my loved ones daily and for eternity. Amen
Until next time . . . . .
