When It Rains It Pours...and Then Some

Wowie wow wow. This week has been crazy! And the awesome things is, I'm at the blissful point where I can laugh about it instead of going bonkers! I've been debating whether or not I should list all the bad things that happened, but I'm thinking I shouldn't. I don't want to take the focus away from my God- the God of glory who reigns over creation, who always provides for us in our time of need.

At just the right time, He provided us with a house.
At just the right time, He provided us with a church to attend.
At just the right time, He provided me with a job.
At just the right time, He provided Nick with a job.
At just the right time, He provided a car.
At just the right time, He always provides for the simplest of our needs.

He will do it again!

Here's a simple little prayer I wrote a couple days ago.


AUGUST PSALM

Father, make me wise, so my eyes may see what’s true

So when I do wrong I don’t lie to myself or to you

And Father make me heartsick when it’s You I don’t obey

I don’t want to lose all you’ve taught me along the way

Father, make me humble, when I want to be the best

When I feel ignored or wronged help me to look to You and bless

And Father when I cry may I not first seek human arms

But long for your affections and your smile that unarms

Father, make me a fighter, when passivity takes control

My flesh is weak, without your meat I’ve no hope in this world

And Father when I lay down and crave an idle, comfortable bed

Help me to see it’s about You, not me, and I’ll follow you instead

Father, make me a lover, when faults become exposed

May encouraging and caressing words come out in sweetest prose

And Father make me thankful you are sovereign in all these things

In your son the Christ you’ve brought to light the example of right living
