As odd as this praise may sound, to me it was truly a praise! We have been on the run for almost two weeks and it has zapped every ounce of energy that I posses......and more! I have only had minimal time to be one the computer and when I was, my brain refused to think........I feel like it went on strike or something! As I sat down yesterday to write, God so graciously jogged my memory so that I could remember what blessed me each and every day. Once again, this was Gods great provision for me......and for that, I am grateful! We serve such an incredible Savior who cares about each and everything we care about......and he equips us to do what He has called us to do......

Praise Day 335: Today I praise God for a wonderful Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner at our Church!12/2/2012 We have been gone for two Sundays, and that was two Sundays too many when it comes to missing my incredible friends at church! I love my friends so much and I could not wait to see them! We had a dinner at the Church and it was GREAT!!!! Due to the fact that we were very sick the day before Thanksgiving....it made eating on Thanksgiving a bit difficult, but the meal at church.....OH HOW GREAT IT WAS!!!! I praise God for the wonderful cooks that He has blessed our church with! It was a great night of food and fellowship! I love food and I love friends.....but most of all.....I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ......how could an evening with all of us there be any better? I love you my friends!!!!!!!
Against the Downpour has played 4 times now with The Museum, but 2 of those 4 times were for some very special causes. The first one was for a fundraiser to help end human trafficking This one was to help raise money for a mens home that helps turn the lives of men who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. Throughout the night, I was able to talk to several of the men in the program, and their stories were heart breaking, and yet they are on their way to recovery which made their stories amazing! The concert was in a concert hall in Eatonton, and I also met the man who helped renovate and restore this beautiful building! These are just a few of the many incredible people that I met that night......including Bob Evans and his wife who put the even on (not the Sausage Bob Evans). It was a night of beautiful music, a great message, and a ton of conversations! It was an incredibly blessed evenin Well, today is the day we headed back home from Colorado. It was an interesting time since the 4 of us got sick and we did not get to do much sight seeing, but God gave us the opportunity to go to the Garden of the gods on the beginning of our trip back home. I praise God for the absolute incredible beauty that He has surrounded us with! The colors that He has brushed here and there......sometimes in the most unique of places.....give inspiration to the artist. The shapes and configurations sometimes leave in in awe! God has created such a beautiful.......and highly unique world that spans from sea to desert, with landscapes that teem with color, texture, and diverse mediums in nature. If someone can see all of this and not see a creator.......then I know that Satan has blinded their eyes and my heart breaks for them. To think all of this beauty just popped out of nowhere........well, my heart just breaks. I know that when I see a pretty painting that speaks deeply to my heart.......there is an artist that created it with the love and attention to detail that pours his/her heart and soul into that creation. Because of this, it gives it even more meaning and beauty! This is how I see God. He poured His heart and His love into this world as He created it.......for His creation......that is us, and how beautiful is that?!!! We are all free to believe what we want because that is how He created us......He is not going to force us to believe.......but as for me.......my heart would be so empty without Him! He is the reason I wake up every morning and He is the one I talk to ALL the time! He hears me when I talk.....even if what I am saying is boring....He listens. He comforts my heart when it is broken and He encourages me when I am downhearted. He lifts me up and carries me when I have no more strength to stand........and he cheers me on when times are good and when times are bad. Sometimes......when I am talking to Him and I can't hear Him.....I am tempted to scream out and ask Him where He is.......but He reminds me in His Word......that He is still there......watching over me with His tender loving care......I am often just so caught up in myself and my pain......that I am just not listening. Psalms 23 is a psalm of King David that expresses Gods love for us: A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You [are] with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell [fn] in the house of the LORD Forever. Mat 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," [fn] which is translated, "God with us." Psalms 139 is a great reference as well, but a little to long to write out, so click this link to go read it! http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Psa&c=139&t=NKJV#9 Oh what a Mighty God I SERVE!!!!! Wow...I needed this today!!! Below I am putting on a YouTube Video that pulled me through MANY a hard time! It is such a great reminder of Gods love for me.....that He is ALWAYS there......and that I am NEVER ALONE!!!!! May God bless YOU today!!!!!! |
