Loving this passage today.

Deuteronomy 32:10-11 (NIV)

 ¹⁰ In a desert land he found him,
       in a barren and howling waste.
       He shielded him and cared for him;
       he guarded him as the apple of his eye,
 ¹¹ like an eagle that stirs up its nest
       and hovers over its young,
       that spreads its wings to catch them
       and carries them on its pinions. 

 I journal a lot about what is going on in my life.  Not only here.  I have a  journal, with actual paper in it, where I record some more intimate stuff.   Often I will look back on that journal and reflect on an entry that I wrote during an intense or painful time.   I love to read what scriptures I was led to read during that time.   Yesterday,  I was looking back at what I wrote about year ago and found the scripture above recorded.  I thought at the time it applied to someone else in my life.  Looking back now, I realize that the scripture also applied to me.   It always does.  




 I pulled some words from above and filled in my name.  Now, you try  - fill in your name where mine is. 

He found Janel.
He shielded Janel.
He cared for Janel.
He guarded Janel.

Janel is the apple of his eye. - love that

He hovers over Janel.
He catches Janel.
He carries Janel.

Comforting, eh?
