Here is a closer look and reminder to be vigilant.

Can you see these destructive little devils?

This is my sage plant that has been so beautiful in years past. This year it is almost destroyed. When I wasn't looking someone, I mean something sneaked in my greenhouse. When I was looking someone tried to sneak in my real house. A boy, a bad boy, a God user. I am so thankful that my daughter trusts her father. We dont always understand the ways of our Heavenly Father, but they are always for our best. She chose to trust her father's decision and not get to know a boy that was interested. He said all the right things. So what was the problem? He was just saying them. And then when he was dissapointed he turned into a real pest. Pest probably isnt the right word. He became devilish. All the while professing to know the Savior. The Bible tells us "you will know them by their fruit". The whole situation has become rotten. He is unable to take no for an answer. He has become threatening and disrespectful to the extreme. Not that any disrespect would be appropriate. We have had to gut our friend lists on facebook, block calls, change numbers and as a last resort, start a paper trail with the police. All this from a brother in Christ???? A young man who is following the Lord Jesus Christ would never be so foul. How could he believe he is entitled to whatever he wants? Strange! Here is the good part. If you delight to honor God , he will delight to honor you. During this strange drama a young man has come forward very appropriately and asked to get to know her. He is of an all together different attitude. He has expressed a desire to get to know her . He has shared with her his desire to guard her heart. If not for him , than for the one the Lord has for her. He has our permission. Not that he needed it, they are both adults. I cant see into the future but I really believe that no matter what happens these two really do desire to please the Lord. May it always be so. I have seen in my life that many times a great blessing arrives just after a terrible trial. Moral....a little pest can cause great harm if left unguarded. Guard your hearts.
