When my house burned down, I experienced a traumatic loss.  The loss was not from losing all my possession, my animals; it was more of losing my feeling of safety/security.   It was the realization that all could disappear in a moment.

Eighteen years later I went through the same experience again, my husband went to work and did not return home.  The news called it a senseless shooting.    The loss swept me off my feet.   My love, protector, comforter was gone.  I didn’t feel safe.  I look back now and see that I was not firmly rooted in God.    “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,  rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.  Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2 NKJV
