Praise Him!!!

Ya’ll, I just have to share my heart and shout a HUGE praise to my Jesus.  For years I have struggled with having a less than positive view of things in life.  I am so thrilled to say that as I read and have embraced Proverbs 17:22 this week, life has been so precious and wonderful.  All the things that normally drive me nuts seemed so insignificant.  I can’t even begin to tell you how freeing this has been.  This has not been an easy week.  There are some circumstances that could have made this week daunting.  And yet . . . I have smiled through it and looked at my life for what it is . . . a precious gift from God as well as an opportunity to praise Him.  I am not naive enough to think that I will never have a negative thought again, but what I do know is that when those thoughts creep in, God’s word provides the support that I need, to see that my outlook on life is a choice.  I just want to say “Thank you” to a Great God who showed me that truth through my devotions this week.

I promise you that I am going to share the scripture that God is directing me to in regards to my family.  It makes me almost giddy thinking about those words and the potential for blessings in them.  I want so much to share them with you, but it’s going to take a while and I want to have plenty of time to share my heart without having to rush through it.

I have another prayer request for you.  My Dad is currently in Belize on a Missions trip and my Mom will be joining him on Saturday.  Please pray for the team from First Baptist Church of Marion, NC.  I know they would appreciate it.  Here is a link where you can keep up with them as they work. http://fbc-belize.blogspot.com/
