Caution ! the Enemy is hiding with a open jaw to devour you !

Sorry haven't written in awhile . We are now headed back to Yeppoon
to begin a new life on the land . God has blessed us with so much beauty and time . time to Relax
take in the breeze the sun on our faces , walks on the beaches and meeting new people that live on the sea . Is this adventure over for Yankee Gurl and her skipper ? Nope its just begun . Now onto wherever the Lord may lead us . The reason i have the words Caution  fragile this life , was due to something i experienced the other day that really made me think . We took the dingy to the jetty to get some last minute items , mail a few letters and do laundry. We tied her up to the jetty using a bow line knot . and on the way back we go ready to jump into her , rob going first to steady her in balance as i went next to come aboard . I looked all around me and barn swallows were going crazy darting in and out near the jetty . We didnt think anything about it untill after i got in the boat and looked down . Right there on the bow line knot that held the dingy to the jetty was a baby swallow , we tried to reach for him but he got scared and took off landing in the water just inches from the jetty , we had no net to reach him and as i tried to untie the knot rob said " hurry " and just as i got the knot loose he went silent .............  " hes gone doll " rob said and a huge bat fish ate him !

I was in shock , we were just inches from that little bird
and WHAM! he was gone , ate by a huge fish in minutes from saving him .

1st Peter 5:8 came to my mind  after shedding a tear for that poor little thing
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour.

Satan is not the horned thing you see in Halloween , he hides and uses things , and even people
to snare you in life . Drugs, alcohol , sex , and even false religion  to name a few. We as Christians need to be always on the alert for the ENEMY! at ALL times . The Holy Spirit is our guide . that little voice inside us that says " dont do it " and we have to be intune to it . Its not going to shout at you , but subtly tell you and you have to know what is of GOD and what is NOT!

Our life is fragile you get only one life on this Earth
are you trusting in the FATHER Jesus to guide you and keep you safe from Satan's snares and traps ??
or are you being blindly led to be caught by a BIG fish with a hungry appetite for your soul ??
Satan is that big fish my friend . Dont be deceived the best instruction to have is the WORD of GOD daily read and get the armor of GOD on Cause hes there waiting to attack you unaware ..

God bless you
and keep you
