Day Eighteen: How I killed A Dragon and Stayed Alive

Day Eighteen

The day I killed a dragon and stayed alive is really not so.  Obstacles in our way sometimes seem like monsters desiring to destroy or kill us.  I've been presented with a few obstacles in my way that nearly killed me, but for some apparent reason, I survived.  My Husband and I kid about AND THE ALIENS DIDN'T GET US!

There was a huge epidemic back in the 1970s that people in southwest Kansas were reporting UFOs.  We had a sighting and that in itself is a story that I will not expound on right now, but recently my Husband and I were talking about things we had gone through and he jokingly mentioned, "AND THE ALIENS DIDN'T GET US!"

I looked at him crossed eyed and didn't understand where he was coming from then he explained about remembering the time we saw UFOs.  I let out a laugh and so did he.  I do remember the time back in 1975 that we saw something difficult to explain.  We did not come face to face with aliens from another world nor were we abducted by any.  grins.  They didn't get us.

We still have some obstacles to confront.  If we jump over them, walk around or hit them head on all will require much out of us.  If I call this latest obstacle a dragon, it might be too tame of a name for it.  I've never seen a fire breathing dragon in reality just pictures of artist renditions of dragons.  I hope to never actually confront a dragon if there be such a thing.  Still Satan is a liar and I agree that he is a serpent ready to inflict pain on God's people.  He is the molester of our souls.  Wickedly evil.  Destructive and mean spirited.  

Killing this particular DRAGON we are facing for the time being is taking much out of us.  I'm hanging on tight to God's promises and crying out.  I've entered into HIS throne room to ask for HIS help and direction as to what are we to do.  Praying because He allows me to enter into HIS presence and seek HIS attention because I am a child of the most high God due to Jesus being my personal saviour.  I accepted him.  He is mine.

LORD, You are my shield and the lifter of my head.  You alone are the finisher of my faith.  You are my hiding place and my GOD.  You are my salvation and the lover of my soul.  You alone are worthy to be praised.  You alone are GOD.

Kill this dragon for me and I will give you all the praise and glory,
