"Praise the Lord! For He has heard my cry for MERCY.
The Lord is my strength and shield.
I TRUST Him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with JOY.
I burst out in songs of THANKSGIVING."
~Psalm 28:6-7
Love, love, love it!! =)
This week, I'm thankful for...
- The prayers of my friends... thinking of nine specific people (those I know well enough to confide in) who have all been encouraging and very willing to help when needed, who are sincerely praying with and for me at this time. And that (to have that depth of friendship with people who love God, and that my family and I are covered in prayer during any trial) means a lot to me!!!
- Brownies... because let's be honest, I'll always be thankful for chocolate! :)
- The Holy Spirit.... specifically for teaching me and leading me toward balance! (On food and exercise, mercy and truth, etc.)
- Great conversations -- (being understood; fun, interesting, uplifting, with genuine connection) -- including talks with Tara and Liz during our dinner at Napolis, with Mom this weekend, and with Malori most every time we talk! :)
That my kitchen "remodel" has officially begun (very strange having no sink and these LOUD dryers going all day)! Also thankful that insurance is taking care of everything but the deductible - hooray!
American Idol, aka the Steven Tyler show. (Shocking, I know - I really didn't think they would suck me in this year. I had no intention of watching and deleted it from the shows to record in my living room, but forgot to do so in the exercise room, so I decided to watch an episode last week while jogging. Didn't think it would be any good without Simon, but it turns out Steven Tyler's bizzare, flirty personality really cracks me up, and I'm a much bigger fan of J-Lo than Kara or Paula!) Well played, AI producers... I applaud you! :)- Finally (fiiiiinalllyyyyyy) finding an awesome "Community Group" at BattleCreek! Very, very excited about the great discussions, and looking forward to really getting to know these people... thanks, God!! :)
And now, my song of the week = Everything to Me by Avalon!
