Firm feet?

The year has started off with good footing.... but that is it. I am bracing and gathering and searching. There is a pressure now. I am fighting for change but there is pressure. Resistance, and things being thrown at us. I can do nothing. Our septic field is breaking down (which is major expensive and major to all the tasks that mom has to do in a day), our neighbor had a breakdown at our dogs, threatening me and standing between my kids and myself, and the Explorer is breaking down bringing a large expense as well. This is all physical but I know it is more too. There is also a challenging of ethics, morals, beliefs. That is nothing all new but still adding to the frustration. Things are lining up in ways, and other parts are being pushed.
Our Pastor talked about "watches" a few Sundays ago. About stepping out of the boat. I love third watch. The time where you cuddle babes. The time where you pray in deep quiet. But there is that fourth watch. It is dark. It is too late to rest and too early to get up. It's frustrating and tiring.
God must be doing something. I pray and hope that he is up to something. Maybe just a wake-up call. Maybe a bright dawn.

A friend sent a note too:

Psalm 121: 1-2
I lift my eyes up to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I like verse three too....
He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber.

That ties in well to my thoughts. That is all from autopilotville.
