for really tho?? LOL

This is one of those semi-venting blogs lol. I'm kind of in a weird place right now....a good place, but a weird place. I'm really just trying to understand something that's going on in my life right now that is a little hard to wrap my head around. I know it's beneficial at this time in my life but it's hard and because I don't fully understand it I'm at the point of almost being mad. But since I kind of understand it, it's more like what I call a "cry-tear" moment. I just want to pout.....so I'm slightly pouting...:-( :-(

PLEASE LORD!!!! help me to grasp this or at least get through this even if I don't fully understand it. Sigh!!!!!! The things you gotta go through to get to the other side.....God's peace is enough though, His love and His joy is enough to carry me through. Keep holding me in your arms Lord and walking with me each step of the way.

Always take God's peace with you......even when you don't understand what exactly is going on around you or even within you, God's peace that passes ALL understanding will guard your heart and mind when it's stayed on Him, when you continually praise Him and when you focus on the things of Him.

Shalom!!!

I command my soul, my flesh, my spirit....to WORSHIP!!!

I truly thank God for the people He has placed in my life who remind me that no matter what, I have the authority through Christ to have wonderful, prosperous, purpose-filled days. As I look on this year I realize that God has brought me through so much that even if I don't celebrate my birthday how I would like to or with the people I would like to celebrate with, He is still worthy of my worship and praise.

I am one step closer to fulfilling the purpose for which God created me.
I am wonderfully complex, his workmanship is marvelous! (Ps 139:14 NLT)
I am thrilled by the Lord and I sing for joy because of what He has done for me!(Ps. 92:4)
I am planted in the Lord's house, I flourish in the courts of my God! (Ps. 92:13)
Even in old age I will produce fruit!(Ps. 92:14) LOL - this might be my new favorite verse!!

My song for today (which is a song I truly enjoy and really mean when I sing it) is "I Worship You" by Mary Mary. This is my prayer and my offering to my wonderful Lord, my Daddy! (the song is on the page, listen and enjoy!)

P.S. Thanks Mon Ami!!

I was lost, but you came and found me
You left your throne thinking about me
You bled and died to show me mercy
You gave Your all because You saw my need

I was empty, but You came and filled me
I was blinded, but You helped me to see
I was broken, but You made me whole again
I felt like nothing, but you gave me confidence

And I'm filled with so much gratitude that words are not enough
To explain the magnitude, the passion of my love

You took everything I was, and made me what I am
And with all I am, I worship You

You were life, when I was dying
You were strength, when I was crying
You were right and I was so wrong
A melody, when I had no song

And I'm filled with so much gratitude that words are not enough
To explain the magnitude the passion of my love

You took everything I was, and made me what I am
And with all I am, I worship You
