You have granted me life and mercy, and your care has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:12
When there is adversity in our lives we often feel weak and vulnerable. Fear can arise that we might be losing ground: losing our courage, endurance, or even hope.

With all the proverbial chaos in the world; especially the heightened “wokeness” as of late, most of us have been caught in a web or two.

I still have been lied
about.
(Which others believed.)
And lied
to.
(Boldfaced & hidden.)
All of them have been quite the up-close & personal lessons
of walking side-by-side
with Job!
(Do you think God knows I am a visual learner???)
Giggles.
