safety is so relative

We live in a somewhat safe area (some areas in baltimore were way more dangerous!!! )but still, crazy pple are everywhere. Apparently the neighbors directly behind us have had the police called on them before for drug use etc.
The wooden doors on our house are very flimzy and could be knocked down -i'm sure of it- with one single kick. A few months after we moved in we were able to get metal guard doors put it, which does help our sense of safety, especially at night. This morning i found the kitchen door that leads to outside open -as well as the guard door! both unlocked... God really is our security :)

Team meetings have been SO rich! on thursdays p. renaldo shares a devotion and we talk abtout visitations, upcoming events etc. while all 4 little girls play outside under the watchful eye of Patience.

Here are a few thoughts gleaned.
God has "sleepers". Like certain not-so-famous foreign agencies, that have sleepers set in strategic places. Someone that goes to school, works, live like anyone else, totally blended in and seemingly a nodoby- until ..
Nehemiah was a sleeper. A cup bearer. So mundane. But it was for God's glory. [i can't get over that amazing concept!]
And then one day -bing! Nehemiah started thinking of his people.
Even the events that seem accidental are ordered by God.
