A Measure of Restoration

A little over a week after the shocking experience of being burglarized, I am finally feel like I'm re-establishing a measure of restoration.   It's almost like going through a rebuilding process (as in Ezra and Nehemiah).

I've taken care of most everything that I can.   I even implemented additional security and was also able to put in some new motion sensor and dawn-to-dusk photocell lights.  When everything gets completed, I will be in a much better place than I was before this all happened.

I am still seeking what it is that God wants me to learn and how he wants me to grow through all of this.

7/5 update - One of the last major tasks was completed today; and it is almost like a having some closure.  I thank God for helping me through and being with me.    Also, it is interesting that I planted two trees today, a lemon tree and a mandarin orange tree.   In some ways, to me, they seem to represent a new beginning.

8/8 - As I was reading "Why, God?"by Chuck Swindoll; what he said about Psalm 11 was a good reminder.  David was essentially saying that on a solid foundation, we are secure, no matter how insecure and chaotic our times may be; and what more solid foundation do we have than as he stated in verse 1 "In the Lord I take refuge."
