Power of God

As I watched a bolt flash of lightning fill the sky with light, I remembered a song about how the heavens reflect the Power and Majesty of God.

The Heavens Declare! “Listen to the waves of the ocean, crashing with the rhythms of praise; Listen to their song of devotion, dancing with the sun’s golden rays. Listen to the music of nature, floating from the birds in the sky, Singing the song of their Maker, Lifting His praises on high. Listen to the song of the Sunrise, Listen to the voice of the light; Watch as the moon gives the signal, Starting the music of night. Listen to song of creation; Listen to the language of praise, Filling the earth and the heavens, Praising the Ancient of Days. The Ancient of Days! The heavens declare the glory God; All nature is singing His majesty. The Mountains prepare a tribute of love; Creation is filled with His praise, The valleys ego His Splendor, the breath of the gentle breeze whispers along, the trees clap their hands with rejoicing, the voice of the thunder explodes into song! The heavens declare the glory God; All nature is singing His majesty. The Mountains prepare a tribute of love; Creation is filled with His honor glory and praise, glory and praise, Creation is filled with His honor glory and praise… PRAISE!” (Patch the Pirate)

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

CATS!

I think Shugums and Serafina are starting to understand each other. Oh, sure they still fight like cats, but they also have their cute together moments!

Got through!

Well, I did it!

After a month of praying and waiting the 24th arrived and I was able to go through with it! I feel good knowing that what started me on this trail and I was worried I would do the same thing as before… I got up, trusted God that everything was in His will. I slept good last night. I no longer look at October 24th as horrible anymore, I just conquered it! 

Thank you Lord for being with me, and helping me through!

Happy Got Day 2016

Four years ago today I got Shugums! She is my crazy cat. She doesn’t like much attention, but when she does, she only likes me to pet her. Oh sure others pet her… but I am the only one she really cuddles with. She is my blessing. Happy Got Day Shug!

 Day after we got her

 Through the years

Time

Over time I am getting better… Each day I must determine what I am going to be like. Will I let fear win or will I trust God throughout the day. That choice makes a difference.

Nights are rough for me, since they get my mind thinking. My head has also gotten sensitive at night again, so I am more susceptible to headaches. Whenever I feel one coming on I rub an ice cube on my face, or rinse with cold water. It helps my mind not focus on my head, and turns it to how cold my face is.

I am trying to gather and keep all the courage and strength I can for the 24th. I see it as a brick wall I must get through, and even if I am bruised at least I will be through. God is my strength and he will help me.

I feel as if I have lost the grip on my life… I want to do something, but I don’t want to. Like chores. The little things can sometimes be hard to just do.

I am trying to be in God’s word more. I am reading the book again called “Be Still, My Child.” I first read it when God was teaching me about trust and faith the first time. Also I found a commentary on Psalms by Charles Spurgeon I am going to try and read that too. I am also going through James once a week with my sister, and of course the Bible study book. I just pray that the Lord will help me get back on my feet.
