Praise

Praise the Lord, praise His holy name forever!!! Our God is so good and marvelous and awesome! I just have to give praise to God, for everything He has done in my life. He's always been there and He will always see me through my frustrations and my pains. He has everything in His strong hands and He will never let me go. The things in my life that I think are my problems are not really my problems, because I can give them all up to my Savior! God, thank you that I can lay everything that is bothering me at your alter and that you will take them and work your wonders. You always have, why do I ever doubt that you won't? Forgive me for ever doubting your mighty hand in the midst of my life and in the midst of my trials and tribulations. You are mighty and there is none like you, my Lord and Savior and friend! Take this heart and make it new, may it ever reflect you, take my life and purge within, give me peace and joy again! Thank you for my mother and father, for their love and their wisdom and sound advice. Thank you for Hanna, that I can call and recieve encouragement in my walk with you and have a bond together that nothing can break! Thank you for Aaron, he is my big brother and truly cares about me. Thank you for Abby, she is a motivator and a woman of Christ! Thank you for my job and the people I work for. Thank you for my mentors, my close friends at home and at college (they know who they are...and I love you all), and my teachers who are there to offer a prayer. Thank you for the time to read your word on a daily basis, thank you for time to pray, thank you for time with you...every second of every day. May I ever strive to be like you and honor you with my life. Give me the words to speak and the patience to speak them, and give me the heart of understanding.

There are sooooooooooo many things to be thanksful for. I found myself the other day praising God for toilet paper and a heated toilet seat! It sounds really funny, but when it's really really cold here, the heated seat is nice and just the fact that we have indoor plumbing is a blessing... not something that we just deserve because we're Americans. God is good all the time. He really truly is. I try to live each day in Psalm 118:24, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
