~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you again, Air1. Last night walking home I felt tiny little slips on icy patches a few times. I really had to humble myself because sometimes I think that the reason I haven't slipped and fallen on slippery spots has to do with how I walk or "good luck." Thankfully, most times, I shout, "Thank you, Lord!" when I almost fall but don't. But sometimes I get a little cocky. Though this verse has more to do with my whole life than just the physical steps of walking, I know that even in my whole life, God has guided crazy little things that I didn't notice in the moment but that later on I realized had a major impact on who I am or where I am. For example, why did I take French in high school instead of Spanish when everyone else was taking Spanish AND I was living in Texas where it actually made sense to know a little Spanish. Looking back, I don't remember it being a conscious decision, so I don't remember what influenced it. But when I got to Lamplighter where they actually taught French to the students and wanted us to reinforce it even a little bit in our classroom, I was grateful for that decision. I am so grateful that God delights in every detail of my life and I hope that I can give that delight back to Him in some tiny way through my appreciation of his love and caring.
