Sometimes I Feel Like a Squirrel



"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." To be completely honest, I sometimes feel more like a squirrel. Running back and forth across a path that is highly traveled. At times, I have watched my life pass right before my eyes, completely undecided which way to go. I have mercifully dodged destruction in the middle of this highway, while in plain sight I could see my Safety in the hedges. My family watches as I painstakingly choose to live most of my life inside the clearly painted lines. They begin to pray. 'Dear Heavenly Father that reigns supreme over all things, please hear our cry. Spare the life of our loved one, but Your will be done.' Clear their minds enough to see the Protection of Your hedge that surrounds them. Nudge their heart, Lord, so they will choose to step out of the road of chaos and destruction and into Your stronghold of protection in Jesus Christ's Holy and Precious Name, AMEN.
