praise HIM

What a crazy, but nice week we had with Boy Scout camping for dad, hubby helping his dad with a major electrical project (we are thrilled and privileged to be helping him), his uncle passing away, his sister visiting from Louisiana and the long list of things to do around here. I actually got so much done, including planning and preparing songs for our awana club, teaching myself power point (their instructions are useless to me), but I did have to carve out some time on my weekend to catch up some. Do we ever really catch up? I am ok with that.

I have to be honest and say that 2 weeks ago I had a very stressful week. We started school Aug. 18th and things were flowing pretty smoothly and then I don't know if it was me being ill, having fatigue or if other stress factors made me fatigued..you know, the chicken or the egg type stuff...
Well, I will skip the boring stuff that goes through my mind, but it is hard to concentrate when you don't feel well and I knew that God called me to homeschool and that His yolk is light..so I asked "What then shall you have me do Lord?"
Well, I wanted to share part of what I read that really touched me...

from 31 DAYS OF PRAISE:

praise can free you from wasting your energies by speculating on just how each circumstance in your life could be part of God's plan. Through praising and thanking God, you put your stamp of approval on HIS unseen purposes. You do this not because you can figure out the specific whys or hows, but because you trust HIS love and wisdom. You endorse Paul's words in Romans 11:33-34

'frankly, I stand amazed at the unfathomable complexity of God's wisdom and God's knowledge. How could man ever understand His reasons for action, or explain His methods of working?'

Praise is a powerful weapon against Satan. Satan hates praise. Any praise thwarts Satan. Make it more powerful by coupling it with God's Word, truths that magnify Jesus as Victor.


I am praising this morning..praising YOU Lord!! Thank you for my life....so last Friday we took Friday off and went to the zoo with my sisters-in law. We had a great time.

We are refreshed in Him and praising Him for a great week of His work ahead...
