Thankful Thursday March 10 2011



Join in today with Iris at Grace Alone each Thursday in March. Read those linked in. Let us Praise Him for his acts of power and his surpassing greatness. Let us Glorify our GREAT and AWESOME LORD. Jesus, King of Kings and LORD of LORDS.

I praise the LORD today, for his HEALING hand upon me. Thank you LORD for restoring my health, for delivering me from a serious sinus infection. He's helping me regain my strength and stamina, and I'm learning to rest in Him more. Today my stamina was very low...but my God helped me through. O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me! Ps. 30:2

I praise the LORD today, for making a question in my mind during our study in 1 Cor. very clear to me. I was confused on a point, and I thought about what Paul said in Phil. 3:15 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Our study was on Monday night 2/28, and we had differing opinions on the subject. I said out loud...God will make it clear to me...and come Sunday 3/6...HE did! He's awesome like that!!

I praise the LORD today, for Getting the edge. A class I took to help me get organized in microsoft office...calendar, emails etc. It was a grueling day..but we learned alot. LORD help me to continue in the things I've learned. That it may bring peace and order to my work day. 1Cor. 14:33 For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace.

I praise the LORD today for the opportunity for Alex (my son) to go with his AFJROTC to Phoenix and Tucson Arizona. They are in a drill competition and will take a few days to visit the area to learn about the Cold War. The trip cost $10. Really! 6 days: hotel, meals and transportation. His girlfriend of 11 months recently broke up with him, and the timing of this trip was a God send! It will give him alittle time to regroup...refocus, and help his broken heart to mend a little. A Great Spring break!

I praise the LORD today for ordering my steps, for lighting the way, for being my strong tower! For showing me when my attitude was wrong, and helping me repent, and do the right thing. Thank you Jesus for your patience with me. May you receive all the Glory!

I am getting to love "thank you" lists more and more ---- not only for what the Lord has done in OTHER's lives, but what it does in MINEjust to read it all! Your words today just jumped in my soul! I had often thought of "doubts" as being a bad thing, that I was to never question anything I read. But I've learned that whenever I have these nagging questions, when things are unclear or confusing, God usually has something great to teach me. And when we are given the answers, the confirmation of a truth, it's a "forever" thing! So what started as a confusion or a doubt, turns out to be growth, maturity, deeper faith, and something to shout about! Loved your post today. It felt like a big hug to me!
