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!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
