A Time to Turn

In everyone's life there comes a time to turn. Turn why, you ask? Well if you have lived as long as I have, 50 years, you learn that your quality of life is much more important than your quatity of life. As you grow and develop relationships with others, at one time in your life those relationships are important to your continued growth. But as you age, and my prayer is that you will, you learn that those relationships that at one time seemed to be beneficial to your very existence, are NO LONGER NEEDED.

When I decided to move from my hometown and live in a totally different city and state and time zone, I knew that there were some people I was saying goodbye to, for the last time. I knew there were people who while essential to my projects and my overall well being, no longer had a place in my life. I knew this and with a sadness, accepted it.

That even if someone tried, those who "have" our backs, will defend us and keep anyone who wants to cause harm or stop the progression of God in our lives, away from us. We feel confident in that, and most times don't even bat an eye.

But friends, we have to be in constant prayer as to who has our backs. What do I mean by that? Well not everyone who says they HAVE your back should be AT your back. Let me break it down even further. If the person watching your back is trying to manipulate your circle, you need to change those or the one who is "backing" you.
