Lamentations 3:22-25. “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”
These are good verses to read every morning. God will be with you through the day. God is faithful!
Know that when night come, God’s mercy and goodness will still be with you.
Over the past few months I have started to read more spiritual poems. Now over the past month I have started putting my own tunes to the poems. At first it was to help me memorize the poem, but it became enjoyably that I did a few more. Now I have about six small poems made into song. I love music and reading, why not put them together! I will continue putting poems to tunes!
Over the past 9 1/2 months my life has changed a lot… and for the better. I may not see now all that has changed, but I know there is more than what I see. My personality has changed, that I know. Some things that once seemed important… no longer hold on. Things that seemed smaller, have bigger meaning in my life. Some things were important and got More important to me… Such as Family. Some things were small, and got smaller… like possessions. When October 24th comes I will celebrate a year of not letting my darkest fears, my inner hate, my anger, and my nerves get the best of me. Even if I have to fight everyday to keep fear and despair far from me… I WILL! I never want to lose my smile again. (My family said that before October 24th 2015 I had a natural smile, but after that day, it left. The smile started to come back the end of January, but was truly back in March.) The Lord has taught me much, and I could never thank him enough. Has this been hard? Oh yeah… But God’s is/was able to give me strength!
God is Good!
When playing Barbies we needed a horse that was all white with silver or white hair. Well we found one with white hair and it was white with brown spots. I tried using white-a-way, but that didn’t work. I then got white paint a few months later. I then painted the horses spots white. So now I have an all white horse.
I came up with an idea. I didn’t have anything much for my nephew to paint, so I looked for some rocks, and he painted smiley faces on them. Happiest Rocks I have ever seen.
It doesn’t matter if they are smooth, rough, big, or small. Kids will love painting them. (I did too!)
As Summer is coming to an end, I know a lot of people will be busy once again. But through all the business, don’t forget to thank God for the day… no matter how good, or bad it seems to go. And no matter how busy you are. God made time for you, and He has His creation to take care of, I think you can make time to thank your Lord.
I like to say, “Plan your Day around the Bible, not the other way around.” Make a time for Bible and God first, then plan the rest of your day. Nothing should be more important than God and His word.
My brother and his family will be moving back close to where I live. Having them less then 20 minutes away then 10 hours will be nice. More babysitting I see in my future!
Things are looking up now that the 24th of June is over. I feel like I can move on more. And now I can think of something positive. I am glad I got through!
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.”
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!
