An Early Wake Up Call

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His Holiness. Psalms 54:1

Hey Everyone!!!! The day started early. I can't believe it is only nine!!!!!!!!!! So far I have already gone exercising, gotten ready, fed the troops french toast (my new specialty), got them dressed and hair done, and have cleaned the kitchen. The girls are now safely off to their friends, and Joben quitely watching Bob the Builder. No wonder my afternoons don't feel productive!!!!!!! My mornings are packed, but everything was finished early today. We usually go to the park, but it is raining. Oh, and mom and David are off to his golf lessons, and Dan has a rain day so he doesn't have to work. Now Dan is of to the U of M to sign papers for his ROTC scholorship and other things.Oh and I have a 1 hour piano lesson this afternoon, so I am got to get out of this house. DAD IS COMING HOME TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, for my devotions I have been reading through Psalms and Numbers. The other day I came across this verse:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46:1-2

These verses are so comforting. One of my greatest temptations is fear. Some of these fears are so rediculous, it is crazy!!! But yet that is where I struggle. Slowly as I have been reading through my Bible, I have been comeing across verse by verse that deals with fear. I am trying to learn all of them, and find them very comforting during the dark times. I have even gotten to whispering Bible verses when I am driving and am afraid I can't make the turn!!!!!!! You see what I mean. lol

Oh, another verse that has been helping me through the past two weeks is Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted in the earth." This verse is so comforting when I begin to wonder what in the world God is doing in my life. As many of you know that past weeks have been tough, but oh the eternal joy I have received from the celebrations and the mourning. Praise the Lord! He is so AWESOME! When I begin to doubt I remember this verse, and it helps me to keep track of my perverse thoughts. Everything that happens has been predestined from the beginning. There is no need to fear, because everything that happens is the Lord's will, no matter if we understand it or not.

Well, It is time for me to be off. I don't know exactly what to yet though. I just know I can't think of anything more to say. lol Blogging three days in a row, AMAZING!!!! lol I hope you all have a beutiful week. God Bless!!!!
