Praise
I walked by a jewelry store today and didn't even want to go in! I thought about stopping by a fast food drive thru the other night on my way home and just didn't feel like it! I came home tonight and thought about watching a movie like I used to do every night and didn't feel like it!
Sure, I'll eat fast food every once in a while maybe, and watch a movie every once in a while, but I'm not addicted anymore! I feel so free! I am so free!!! God is so good!!!!!!
Not to mention the really special times I've had with family, friends, and even strangers this week, after a while when I just didn't feel like seeing anyone. What blessings!
This week, my church was praying a lot, and I just hope we will all pray together more, because talking to and hearing from God together is the greatest balm for our cracked lives! So many blessings come...
Even in the midst of losing many of our dear friends at our sister church in Haiti. Oh God, please be with those who have survived, and protect them - their bodies and their hearts. Have mercy on us for not loving them enough! Thank You that we've gotten to love them at all - and be loved by them! They are beautiful testaments to Your glory, and we know they are dancing with You now!
Thank You that You heal our brokenness, You lift us out of our hopelessness to minister to others! Lord, bless Your holy name! Thank You that the world is now looking on Haiti and having compassion. May many come to You as a beautiful result of this hideous disaster. For what the devil meant for evil, You will use for good. Our beautiful God!
