It's beautiful here

We have spent time with great friends and I'm not wiped out, no virus has reared its ugly head so far, I was not arrested in the airport because of my mask, my positive attitude must be giving testimony to God's goodness because heaven knows I couldn't have conjured it up on my own and I have been able to talk about the next phase of treatment without getting a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, so it appears that prayers are being answered.  Thank you!
Today's early morning time with God led me to a great verse found in Habakkuk in the Old Testament.  It reminded me of a little book I read many years ago titled Hinds' Feet on High Places by English author Hannah Hurnard. (A hind is a female deer, in case you were wondering.)
In her book Mrs. Hurnard chronicles the journey of her main character, Much-Afraid.  Much-Afraid is called by the Shepherd to do some pretty frightening things, among them to undertake a journey over ground where her footing would be seriously challenged.  As she stumbles along the beginning of the path she cries out, "O Shepherd.  You said you would make my feet like hinds' feet and set me upon High Places."
"Well", he answered, "the only way to develop hinds' feet is to go by the paths which the hinds use."
So, I remind myself again, this cancer journey must be the high places to which The Shepherd is calling me and I, like little Much-Afraid, can be confident that my feet will not slip while The Shepherd leads the way.
"The Lord is my strength, and He has made my feet like hinds' feet, and makes me walk on my high places."
Habakkuk 3:19 (NAS)
