Whenever I get into a jam of any kind, I can always count on the hypervigilence of my Lord and Savior, my Heavenly Father, to keep me safe from any (and all) harm.

I don't know what I would do without Him.

For instance, God keeps me on the "straight and narrow", and even when I do mess up, He is always there, ready to take me back into His arms.

Or He gives me a sense of premonition whenever danger lurks.  I cannot tell you how many times God has saved my butt from potentially dangerous situations; because of this, I am still alive to tell the tale.

I have always been the adventurous sort.  I was the type of kid who was bound to attract trouble wherever I went.  I guess God had His work cut out for Him: it's a wonder He still has any hair on His head from worrying about me or keeping me out of trouble!  Let's face it: I made Dennis-The-Menace look like a regular angel at times!

As I got older and bigger, I learned just how much God loved me when I lost my father to cancer when I was sixteen and when my mother was injured in a car wreck that laid her up for months (I was seventeen then).  Even though I felt scared and hopelessly alone, I felt His presence, and I knew then just how much He loved me.  God got me through those dark moments, and I knew then that He never left me, not even for a second.  He was always with me.

Now I am raising my own family, and God continues to keep His protecting hand upon me.  He continues to keep me grounded, and I am much better off in knowing that God will always have my back.  He is the Ultimate Soldier, the Ultimate Security Guard, keeping me at peace in this war called Life.

I couldn't ask for Anybody more qualified for the job!!
