Ever found yourself stuck on the shoulder of life, afraid to veer out into traffic, petrified of being blind-sided by yet another reckless driver?
I so want to be the brand of woman, that when my feet hit the floor the devil cries, “Oh no, she’s up!” As the author of “Spiritual Laxative for the Constipated Soul” and “You Don’t Dig for Water Under the Outhouse”, you would think I’d know enough to be a great defensive and offensive driver. But honest-to-Pete, I’ve been known, a time or two, to stall in the middle of the road of life, immobilized like a deer in headlights. anticipating the next fender-bender.
I’ve allowed road conditions, others’ actions and my feelings to guide me instead of God’s Protective System only to end up in a ditch, bone-tired, weeping and pitching a hissy fit, because I opted on meandering down this unpredictable road of life, buck-naked. An all-you can eat buffet, served on a silver platter, for the devil, all because I took my eyes off God’s “High Way”!
I’ve discovered that if I focus on the faithfulness of God, the detours where God showed up and did what only He can do, my faith increases, and my sense of direction and driving improves by leaps and bounds. He can take the junk in our trunk, the collisions, detours, traffic jams, pedestrians, potholes and road construction and use it for His glory and our good.
And it all began the day I spied Jesus walking down the street….
A native of the grand ol' country of Texas, Katherine Bowers, left her blessed country over 39 years ago and now resides in Pennsylvania with her extremely patient and loving husband, Robert. She is the mother of two and Gaga (grandmother) to seven. She has been known as an author, speaker, baker, ship-lap queen, but most of all she identifies as a daughter of the King who is head over heels, soul, mind, heart and oomph, in love with Jesus. Woo Hoo! She is the author of "Spiritual Laxative for the Constipated Soul" as well as "You Don't Dig for Water Under the Outhouse". Her Bombeckesque style of writing, coupled with her brand of "Texanese", generously seasoned with her humor, quick wit and unforgettable tales of her painful and sometimes humorous past serves up spiritual truth in "bite-sized" nuggets creating a "spiritual tonic "for the aching soul. She has an Associate's Degree in "Life in the Pit", a Bachelor's Degree in "Amazing Grace", and a Master's Degree in "Christ's Redeeming Love." Her hope is to give those travelling this road of life a glimpse of what it really means to be "a blood-bought, battle-fought, saved-by-amazing-grace, daughter of the King.
