There were times this week when I thought I would drown. I thought the depth of my office work would drown me, and I thought the depth of my personal life would drown me. The enemy really knows how to whip the waves up in my life. But, this week, I did not drown. Sure, I swallowed some water, but I did not drown. Wanna know why?
Let me tell you anyway. (smile). I did not drown because of my Anchor. There is a song that says “my soul has been anchored in the Lord.” So, while it has indeed been a rough week, I’ve been able to cling to Jesus. Every time the trouble in my life would swell into a wall of a wave, Jesus covered me and let the waves splash down on Him so that I would be protected. Now, I know what it’s like to say that I’ve been in the safety of the Lord. He has watched over me and protected me all week long (and of course every day of my life but you get me right? – this week, I’ve really had to notice because I know that I was not sufficient in my own strength to keep myself sane to get through everything that has happened.) I’ve seen the hand of the enemy this week as he has attempted to kill my spirit but I’m still here. I’m still here to the glory of God!!!
I don’t know what your week has been like, but I hope that you will take some time to give God the praise. Good week? Praise Him! Bad week? Praise Him! I know I’m praising Him – I DID NOT DROWN! He kept me! Hallelujah!!!
Have a blessed weekend,
Sanya

I like that! I did not drown either.
I kept singing (mostly in my head) I praise you in this storm by Casting Crowns while I was at the ER for 4.5 hours for a sprained ankle! But I did not drown. God was my anchor and I praise Him in all of it.
Much love,
Angela
Angela! ER! What happened? I pray for a speedy recovery!
