Ever Watching

i have a pot-bellied pig and 4 ducks left of my farming days. My husband is very thankful that those 5 are all that remains. i had several ducks, several geese of various sorts, lots of chickens, and a pygmy goat. i've given away all but 4 of the ducks, ALL of the geese, and the chickens were devoured by dumped dogs and a few predators, and the rest were given away. The pygmy goat went to a farm with lots of females because he was becoming his own best friend and i didn't want to explain to my then young children why he was. My husband referred to our house as "Ole McDaryl's Farm" and the only place in LeFlore County that you could walk in the yard and step in 14 different kinds of animal crap! But that isn't my point today.

My point... Today is there are 3 (that i know of) predators stalking my ducks and pig. i discovered this the other morning when my pig, Bacon, was making a different squeal. i looked out my window and saw her running on her stubby little legs as fast as she could, into the yard. i looked out farther into the pasture and there was a coyote, belly to the ground, stalking her. The double barrel is now by the back door ready! Yesterday brought two different coyotes too close to my yard.They ran when i walked outside with the gun. Okay now that you know that, here is my real point...
How like what is going on at my house, is our Abba watching over us? Is He watching the bumps and turbulence that satan puts in our way? Of course He is, if He is your LORD and Savior. And sometimes even if He isn't yet. i know that it is so very hard to fully let go of a situation because we think we can do a better job or we don't want to feel that we are not in control. i struggle with this daily. i know of the 3 predators of my animals but how many are actually out there? That i have no clue but my Abba knows exactly how many there are and when they will strike. Just like He does for how many bumps and turbulence are in my daily walk and when i will trip on them and what i'll do about them. NOTHING surprises my Abba!! Not even me! And satan runs when God walks out the door with His gun (i know but ya get my point)! God has my back and He's continuously watching over me. i just have to trust Him and tell others about Him!
