Monday Musings~Oh Praise Him!

"The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him." Exodus 15:2

"He is your praise; He is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes." Deut. 10:21

"I will proclaim the name of our Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our Lord." Deut. 32:3

"The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!" 2 Sam. 22:47

"Now, our God, we give You thanks, and praise Your glorious name." 1Chron. 29:13

"Praise be to the Lord, for He heard my cry for mercy." Psalm 28:6

"My tongue will speak of Your righteousness and Your praises all day long." Psalm 35:28

"Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me." Psalm 66:20

I can do this all day-look up verses on praising God. He has been, IS, so good to me. These verses get me excited. I want to praise Him...ALWAYS, no matter the circumtance. I have been working on praising Him regardless of what life throws at me for over a year now. Although hardships still come my way and there continue to be trials I am to face, I have found that life is just better when I praise Him. I am relieved, comforted, at peace, and most importantly, experience His grace and mercy as I praise Him. Praising Him is like the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Have you praised Him yet today? Even if your life seems in shambles theres still room to praise. So, what are you waiting for? Get up and praise Him! Shout victory in His name! I promise you'll feel better!

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...
