Praise... In all Situations

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name

When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,

I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in,
Lord Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name

When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name

On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
You give and take away

You give and take away
My heart will choose to say Lord,
Blessed be your name

Psalm 150
1Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,

praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,

praise him with the strings and flute,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,

praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

Romans 5:3-5
3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.



There is thing aching in my heart, I'm not sure what it is... it's not sad, but it's not happy... it's more than just a rut... it's something.. I wish I could clarify, I wish I understood it.. .have I hit the 1/4 life crisis? A few of my Friends are in the same boat... we want to be following God's will, but we aren't 100% sure we're in the right place for that... if we are being used to our full potential... and if we are then why is there a longing for something different... for instance, I'd love to be more invloved at my Church, to do more, and I can't. I have so many other things... I want to be a better mentor to my youth 'girls' but I'm so busy... Well I feel busy, i feel worn out, streched... But at the same time i'm feeling better, I have more energy, I fell better. Sigh, I don't really know what I'm feeling... I'm just in a state... (side note - I do this ... ... ... ... a lot... )

It's Tuesday

It's Tuesday and I'm sitting at home - typing up the Christian Ed. meeting notes. Boring but i'm not complaining.

Easter was snowy eh? Random... I don't ever remember missing an Easter Sunday ever. But I think I'll be ok.

I saw most of my family, both sides, and it was good times!

I am back at work and life is going well...

I'm missing my ABU girls, all of them... and I wish that the summer would get here sooner so we could get together!

Umm yeah - short sweet just the way you like it.
