Feels good to be back. Maybe because I'm all cozzied up in my bed with my favorite blankets and a hot fresh ground coffee. Maybe it's because this is the first blog post from my new home. Maybe its the smell of cinnamon rolls drifting from the kitchen. Just feels good to be here.
It'sbeen about a month or so , the hardest part of this 6 month challenge isn't finding a reason to be thankful but finding the time to write about it. So lets do a quick overlook shall we.
Matt sold his house, Praise God! Mine has not sold yet, so keep praying with me! We bought a new one, still in process of setteling in and marging 2 families into one. The wedding date has been set, December 22 , 20111.
My creative brain is on overload, new projects on the way!
My lap top broke.
We had our first arguement, after 3 years I guess it was time!
My children lost their minds for a brief time, but they are back now!
And of course the beautiful wedding gown I purchased was a limited edition and only one size was avaialable and instead of loosing 10 pounds to have it fit perfect I've gained 3! so now I need to loose 13 pounds in the next 30 days, hmm I may need to find an alterations specialist soon!
So in all this what am I choosing to give thanks for ?
I am thankful God has blessed me so over abundantly, not with things, even though He is, but with love. There is love all around me, in my home, my job, a kind word from a stranger, friendships that are blossoming and growing, and love from my Father. He is granting me the desires of my heart . He is pouring out his blessings and goodness upon me! He is faithful in his word and with his promises, and I sometimes fwel so unworthy of Him and his gifts. My heart and my brain are two different things. But the truth is , I am worthy, I am loved, I am redeemed. I am not perfect but I will always be loved and nothing can seperate me from the love of Christ.
 Psalm 37a Of David. 1Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; 2for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. 7Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. 10A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. 11But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace. 12The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; 13but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. | |||
I encourage you to read the rest of this Psalm. I am done comparing myself to others and their success to mine and even my failures. It feels good to know there is justice to those who cause harm and forgiveness for those who turn around. It feels good just to bask in the presence of the Lord and not just know I am loved but to feel that I am loved.
Today is a good day and it's just begining!!
