So today in and of itself was a good day. I didn't work because I had another spinal injection because I've started having some pain down my leg again and I didn't want it to get as bad as it was before. The injection itself was a piece of cake compared to some of the other things I've gone through. The main reason I didn't work, was because I didn't have a ride, and I can't drive for 24 hours after the procedure. Hopefully this will completely take care of that problem!
The rest of the day was kind of just blah, nothing too exciting until I went to church tonight. A lot of thing were just brought back to the forefront for me. Eddie read Psalm 63, here's what it says.
1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. 6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
9 They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
That just spoke to me so much it's hard really to describe how I felt. It just really made me want to shout Praises to the Lord. We were also discussing how we should have Joy for the Lord in all that we do and give Praise to the Lord in everything we do like it says in I Corinthians 10:31 "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Also always living a constant life of worship. We also talked how we should also live like this because we never know when our life will be taken from us or when Jesus is coming back. Yes, this really rang home to me becasue of how dramatically my life changed on Aug 31, 2006. I try my best to be thankful everyday for the life I have been given and that Jesus saved me from everything! Everytime I mess up Jesus is right there to forgive me and remind me of His Amazing Grace!! I really do want to have Joy in all that I do, and to live a life that is of constant worship. It's hard though but Jesus gives us the strength to get through and live a life of worship.
I also finished my book today "Completely His" by Shannon Etheridge I recommend all you ladies read it.. Here's a few quotes from the last chapter. ''Remeber that God doesn't call us to do things that we can accomplish in our own strength. He only calls us to God-sized tasks, so that when the dream becomes a reality, we know God did tehe work, and God gets the credit."
"As you labor to bring God's dreams to life, you will more than likely experience many temptations to abort the process. Satan will try anything to get you to give up. So when you feel tired, frustrated, and ready to quit, return to your original vision of what god has asked of you. He will be faithful to do all that He has promised, but you must be faithful to submit to the process."
"Perserverance isn't a lot of fun. Yet it is perserverance that allows God to take our muddled messes and turn them into miracles. He delights in transforming the black-carbon pressures of our life into diamonds of radiant beauty. But doing all that requires a process. A process that takes time. Aroces that is sometimes painful."-Joanna Weaver
So now, meditate on all this info that I've given to you! Let me know your thoughts. !!!
