SO faithful

God showed Himself so faithful yesterday at work! I had some personal things that were making my day drag on an on. It was only about 11 in the morning and I was DONE - ready to go home with 5 hours left before I could leave. Finally I prayed and asked God to comfort me. Guess what? He did!! Not only did He remind me of what I read that morning, Psalm 37, and comfort me with those words, but He gave me His peace! I pulled out my Bible and read the Psalm again, just to calm me down a little more. As soon as I finished my phone rang and it was someone saying rather shortly that I should have called this vendor already and why haven't I done that yet? I did not want to call because I've been hounding them but I picked up the phone and called Tom. The receptionist Sandy answered, she happens to be Tom's wife ;)
Tom's out doing an install, you can call his cell phone and he'll give you an update on those windows etc.
Then I said something off-handedly about God, I believe it was something along the lines of she'll be praising God when this situation is over, and it turns out she's an on fire Christian!! God used her to totally encourage me and bless me. ISN'T THE GOD WE SERVE SO FAITHFUL? Honestly, has He ever failed you? NO! never!!!

Praise the Lord!


Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have need Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me


Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside

New Bible

Alright, so I bought a new Bible a couple weeks ago and it just came in the mail. I'm so excited!!! KJV pocket leather bound. I had a pocket ESV but a couple times while reading I had to run and grab my KJV Study from my room because I really needed to read it in KJV and --you understand! The really cool thing is that a page was cut wrong, so I'll be taking my scissors to it tomorrow morning and I'll have a ragged page at the beginning of 1 Corinthians. Oh well, I'm still happy! Re-do all my bookmarks and start underlining and all...YAY!

So much going on

Wow. I have been neglecting my blog. So what’s new with me? A lot. I am praying about some BIG changes in my life. And I know where God is leading me – at least for the moment. Please be praying that I would be faithful to the calling that God has placed on my life. More on that to follow.

Last Monday (February 11th) was a huge day in my life. I woke up with a verse stuck in my head. I know, how often does THAT happen?? Deuteronomy 6:11-12 “…when thou shalt have eaten and be full; then beware lest thou forget the LORD which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”
Ok, so that means God is going to give me something and wants me to remember Him afterwards. He’s warning me (1 Corinthians 10:12 “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall”) ahead of time – so that like Nineveh in the book of Jonah I can repent and not face judgment. But what is He preparing me for? I know. But I’m not saying. Why? Because it is not something to spread around too soon. Let me tell you though, God is amazing and He is faithful. I mean, He got me a free eye exam this past week. Free. Faithful, I know. He’s amazing, isn’t He?

I just realized that I told you NOTHING on what is going on in my life right now, only hints of what is to come. Yet I am excited. Very excited.




Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.
