You Are My Refuge

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. — Psalm 119:114 

God is my refuge.

The Lord is my shield.

His Word is righteous and true.

It is living and active.

I have put my hope in His Word.

I Love You, Lord, My Strength

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  — Psalm 18:1-2 

Yesterday we hiked out to Cedar Creek Waterfall in Ramona.

What a beautiful day.

The waterfall was much fuller than it was two years ago when we hiked there in April.

And we waded across three streams.

But when we arrived, we were there with just a few other people.

Hiking out we ran into a large group of college students hiking in.

Thankfully we went early and had the waterfall almost to ourselves.

What a beautiful day!

My Refuge and Shield

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. — Psalm 119:114

God is my refuge and strength.

A very present help in trouble.

He is my protector and shield.

I have put my hope in His Word, the Bible.

And I have put my hope in His Word, Jesus Christ.

The mediator between me and God.

My Advocate and Savior.

Here's the beautiful sunset we saw going over the Coronado Bridge Friday night.

  

God's Word Is Flawless

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. — Proverbs 30:5

La Jolla Pier

God's Word is true.

People don't always keep their promises, but God does.

Every promise He has ever made has come true.

I can believe His Word.

He is my shield, and I can take refuge in Him.

Even when I don't have the right words, He hears my prayers.

He know what is best for me before I even ask.
 

God Is My Shield

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. — Psalm 119:114

God has been refuge through the battle against cancer.

He has been my shield and protector.

I have put my hope in His Word.

He has blessed us beyond measure, and we so appreciate the support of family and friends.

Here are the desserts we had Sunday night. Very delicious. My taste is back to normal. Awesome.

Filled with Joy

The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust Him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. — Psalm 28:7 NLT

Thursday I completed my chemo in just 3 hours — an hour less than the last time.

My nurse was a young dad who had attended SDSU, just like Kirk, but graduated in 2016.

He and his wife bought a house in Chula Vista so he could be closer to his parents for helping out with babysitting.

So far he had only worked at Kaiser on Zion but he hoped eventually to be able to work at the one in Otay Mesa.

We talked about how home prices have increased like crazy over the past few years.

He was blessed to be able to buy a home. So were we.

God helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.

God Is Our Fortress

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. — Psalm 18:2

Here are the beautiful flowers we received while at Abby's graduation last weekend.

A thoughtful gift from Rick, Barry, and Aunt Jean.

Kelly went over to our house and took the arrangement inside so the flowers were greeting us when we arrived home.

Even during this time of sadness, we can be at peace with God's deep joy that passes all understanding.

We are thankful for all of our wonderful friends and family members.

God is our rock, our fortress, our deliverer, our salvation.

We are thankful!
