I can't believe it's December already!! Where did November GO!?!?!? I just made my firswt (of MANY to come) SmileBoxes! It's so easy to use! Now I want to download all my pictures on this new computer! A huge Feat for me! Since for some reason I'm scared to take pictures off my SD card. It's a real fear! look it up! cameraitis! Haha!
It's so amazing to see how much the children have grown and are changing! Right before my very eyes! The saying "Time flies when you're having fun" is no joke! It also flies when things aren't going so well... This morning I read Psalm 46. Very encouraging and I want to write it down. Maybe it will encourage me another time, when I reread my blog! lol!
"God is a refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not dear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High. God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it. The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God's voice thunders, and the earth melts! The LORD of Heaven's Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress.
Come, see the glorious works of the LORD: See how He brings destruction upon the world. He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
'Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.' The Lord of Heaven's Armies is here among us, the God of Israel is our fortress."
I recognized the "Be Still and Know" part, because it's one of the ones were all taught to memorize at some point in our lives. However, this time I was struck by the fact that it's a command! The writer is emphasizing that God is commanding us to BE STILL! and KNOW that HE IS GOD! He WILL BE honored in EVERY nation! THROUGHOUT THE WORLD! how Awesome is our God!
I love the song by Rita Springer "I will rejoice." It's been in my head the past few weeks, as I recently heard Kim Walker sing it at an amazing women's conference I went to! I couldn't find it online for the longest time! Then I came acrost it called "There is a River" as a you tube video. I will try and post it.
