In December, a depression
seemed to have entered into me.
Underneath my feet the solid
ground, unshakcable, held me
firmly planted in the faith which
docs not let go. But inner warfare
raged. , •
Then illness attacked, bringing
with it bodily weakness. A clamor
of thoughts tempted me, inviting
surrender to a frailty of the flesh.
But the solid ground continued to
hold me steadfast and secure.
In my illness, family and friends
ministered to me How grateful I
was for their lender care!
The end of 1993 approached. I.
remembered a similar warfare had
raged in the beginning of this year.
Though tempted in that warfare, 1
had been unmoved from iny deter-
mination to follow God’s plan for
my life. In the present battle, 1
remained resolute as before.
As the beginning of 1994 reared,
questions plagued me. What awaits
in the coming year? What’s ahead
for me? Fear seemed to prevail.

But the solid ground remained firm
under my feet And I knew what to
do.
I began to talk to my Lord. I
thanked Hint of His presence with
me. I spoke to Him of my fears I
poured out my need for His contin-
ued help. And gradually, the storm
subsided. The battle was not over,
but I knew God’s control in the
fray.
At dusk on the first day of the
new year, I gazed to the west
through my kitchen window. A
rosy glow across the horizon out-
lined the silhouette, of the distant,
quiet trees. The scene spoke peace
to my heart. God reigns. ' ;
