Jun. 19, 2007 - Reality check - Praise the LORD!

I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are discouraged take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:1-3

Thank you all for your kind encouragement yesterday. I am so thankful today is a new day. I am still far from home. I still miss my friends, my church and my life. My reality has not changed, but perhaps my focus has. I will choose today to praise the LORD despite how I feel. I will trust His perfect will to work through this season of our lives.

A sweet new friend read my blog yesterday and took the opportunity to encourage me in a practical way. She caught me after yoga class and invited me to coffee. It was just what I needed to help me through a tough day. Thank you Nikol!

I'm glad you're feeling better! I continue to pray for you! Psalm 34 is one of my favorites, we memorized it together as a family when I was younger. It has comforted me on many an occassion.

I'm so glad you are feeling better, and how neat that someone contacted you through the blog! Coffee and yoga?! I'm a bit jealous...

God never fails to meet us where we are and He knows just what we need when we need it. PTL for Nikol and her sensitivity to the leading of the Lord! I love the verse you shared and I join with you in choosing to praise God despite what my reality is. And again, I just want to say how much I enjoy reading your blog. You have encouraged me so much and I pray that God will use me and others to give back to you what you have given to so many through your blog.

Hugs,
Donna
