An Action Drenched Adolescent

Wow! What a summer! Once again I find myself traveling across the country with my family to seek out support that we may be in Ukraine by April. We had another trip to Pennsylvania where we spent a week in family camp, a new adventure that will be forever plastered on my memory as one of the greatest weeks of my life. And the month of August(and I think I should note is one of the hottest months of the year) we spent in the great state of Texas. From Houston to the border it was non stop thrill ride. Here, there, and seemingly everywhere, flowing from one church to another, falling in all the tourist traps along the way. Not to mention the hours upon hours of driving (well for me, riding), going three hundred miles in one direction, with absolutely no change in scenery.
So much is going on, on the outside, as well as in my mind and heart, I feel so overwhelmed, like a puppy walking around in the rain looking for a dry, peaceful, quit place; never escaping the storm of activity. Soaked through with stress and worry. Never prepared enough for the next days events.
So sad...yet so true. Is there any comfort, is there any relief, any shelter from the storm...
You bet!!!
Take a look at...
Psalm 91:1-6
Mark 4:39-41

I've spent some time in these two portions of Scripture. And you know what? I found that comfort and relief and shelter...in Christ. He is always there, right by my side. He's steady, strong, and my safe place. What is He for you?
Your Saviour,
Your Lord,
Your Knight in Shining Armour
Your Just Judge
Your Merciful Father
Your Very Present Help

I'm sure you could name a few more...
