Genesis 28:15"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go,
and I will bring you back to this land.
I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."
Being on my own, one of the things that I long for and miss a lot is the sense of security that comes along with being in a relationship. Having someone who calls to check on you when you are away, who waits for you to arrive home safely, who on long trips is by your side, and who protectively walks beside you on a dim lit night gives you a sense of security and comfort that someone is there... protecting and watching over you. Being a single mom I have gotten used to doing a lot of things on my own and have learned to watch out for myself, but even so there are a lot of times that fear sneaks in and I am left wanting that strong male presence that offers a sense of protection that I myself am unable to give. Growing up in the military and living on a base that was always full of soldiers, there was always that feeling of security and that someone was watching over you and that you were protected no matter where you were. When I saw this picture it brought back that feeling to me of safety and the promise that God has made to us. That he is always watching over us every step of the way, no matter where we go.
