Today I just want to say that my God is awesome. He is awesome for so many reasons that I am unable to adequately express, but I'm gonna try a few.
1. When you give to Him, He gives back so much more. Graham and I made a pact with God of some sort last week, concerning discipline in our lives. Just a small step really, but our relationship this week has just been fun. We have been able to find joy despite not feeling 100%. We have blessed each other with grace in times that we wouldn't usually. And in my thinking, it's all because of God. We agreed to be more focused on Him, and He, in His overwhelming grace and mercy, decided to pour us down a blessing!
2. He created a beautiful night. Saturday night I stood outside in my driveway just staring up at the sky in childlike amazement. The stars were just Wow! You could like see every single one of them and they seemed as if you could reach out and grab them. They were so visible because there was no moon. The sky was absolutely pitch (whatever that means!) black. We should shine like that in this world. We should sharply contrast with the darkness around us. Hmmmmmm....it's a challenge. I know I'm not "shiney" enough. Thank God He continues to polish us daily.
3. He has a sense of humor. That same night as I admired the stars, I had a conversation with Graham and a good old friend of his. I laughed at them and they wondered why. I didn't laugh because anything was funny but because our conversation was somewhat ironic. Not so many years ago I would have been extremely angry at them and their heathen ways. But not so anymore as we discussed our God and His ways instead.
**Why is God awesome to you? Come on and leave me a comment and brag on Him. Show us some love. hehehehe
Psalm 34 1-3
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.

My random thought on my page says "will i ever be who i thought i was?" that simply means, the closer you get to God, the worse of a person you find your self to be, and will i ever be as good as i thought i was before i was this close to God. well, its good to know that our relationship with God is not about where we are, but about the journey, and right now i'm loving the ride in spite of some serious bumps in the road. anyway, i just praise him for the tools that are at our disposal now...some that people didnt have 2000 years ago and even 10 years ago...we have the written word of God, godly friends, books by godly authors, articles on the Internet, prayer, and much, much more.
Hey Girl, I'm really in need of some Summer Time Lemonade! I guess we need to paint another room together so we can visit and I can soak up some of that good stuff! Since I'm kinda not in the mood to paint, why don't you just make it simple and put up another post on your blog :)
I still want your notes from way back when that you offered me. I found the chapter I was referencing but its been too long so I'll have to check it out again.
Be blessed!
