We serve such a good God!  I am filled with thankfulness in my heart because the Lord of all the earth, the creator of this universe knows my name. I love Him so much! He has so much mercy and patience with me.  I  sometimes wonder why He hasn’t given up on me yet, but then I remember He is my #1 fan.  He wants me to make it more than anyone else! I have been going through bit of a rough time lately (ok, that’s putting it mildly), but I feel like God is giving me strength to bring me through. Have you ever been in a trial that you thought would never end?  I feel like the Lord gave me something regarding that thought.  God wants to help us get through the trial-meaning to the other side of it. This overwhelming feeling will not last forever.  Isn’t that a great thought? I want to make it through my trials victoriously!  And with God on my side, I can make it!

In service today, a sister praying with me stated how we need to praise the Lord at all times, even when we don’t understand!  There is a song someone from work told me about that is called, “I Will Praise You in the Storm.”  Though the music is quite contemporary, the words are very powerful! I do want to praise Him in the storm. Not just when things are going great, but when life is hard and it doesn’t make sense-I want to lift my hands in praise and say “You are still a good God! “

We were able to visit the Creation Museum last week and the Lord really used this place to help me get refocused.  I have this very human problem…I get so focused on my little slot of time and the circumstances in it that I sometimes forget about this ETERNAL plan that God is working on. And it is a plan that He has allowed me to be a part of! PRAISE HIM! Being at the museum reminded me of this great plan of salvation! Looking at the time line of these approximate last 6000 years was like a gentle call from the Lord talking to my soul about what really matters in life. What awesome things are ahead! No matter what happens in my life, I do not want to lose sight of the goal! We also were able to listen to some of the CDs from the camp-meeting and it was amazing!  God really ministered to my heart and I am so thankful for that! I think I am coming through this!  I am sure I will have some hard and weaker days, but the finish line of this trial is in sight. Please pray for me that I can be triumphant!
