2 Kings 20; Isaiah 38 - 39; Psalm 75; 1 Peter 2

My whole freakin life has been about being SAFE and FAMILY
Yup that's it...family and safety...safety in family....seeing how I've damaged, been damaged by family...

and now.....crap.....finding out there is nothing/nowhere safe, never has been and never will be and if there was.... that's without You and about My control, controlling or being controlled........... and yet I still find myself crying.....

Take me somewhere safe today Father
feeling broken and fragile
broken and scared
broken and afraid to have anyone touch me
take me somewhere safe today Father...

You're not safe are you?? You're good and I'm protected but not safe...never safe....

so how to stay broken and fragile with that??
faith in You alone....You alone....no longer lost, but found...found and protected...

1 Peter 2:25 You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.

protected but not safe....
seems really important to grasp that this morning......
