GIVE GOD THE PRAISE!!!!




The beginning of this week was SOOO crappy.I was feeling so discouraged about some things and was just really not myself. I decided Sunday night that I was going to play hookie from school on Monday and go to revival at our church. I am so glad that I did. The whole week before I felt like God was telling me that I needed to testify at church about the accident we had with Nick. If you don't know about that, about two weeks ago Nick was working on A vehicle and the vehicle fell on him. It busted his hip and has had him limping around for A while now. Anyways I just knew that it could have been alot worse. In my heart I was praising God that he had kept my husband safe. I still felt this tugging on my heart at church when our pastor would say Somebody testify. I never did though!!! Then one of the Lady's preaching at the revival was talking one night about obeying God and praising him for what he has done for you and in your life. So the other night at church during the revival the pastor said "somebody testify" and once again I felt that tugging on my heart but it was such A strong feeling and so I had to obey God. I stood up and told my testimony about the truck falling on Nick and how I knew that God had his hand on him and kept him safe. Now before Wednesday I was having A horrible week and after I gave God the praise for what he had done my week did A total 360. I just know that when you obey God and praise his name he will bless you .It says in
PSALM 107:8 OH THAT MEN WOULD PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS,AND FOR HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO THE CHILDREN ON MEN.

So when God does something good in your life PRAISE HIM!!!! Tell him how much you love him and remember what he did for you.

We had A baptismal service tonight and then fellowship after and it just amazes me how much I love to be in the house of the Lord. I hate hearing people say "You don't have to go to church to be A Christian" your right you don't, But if you truly love the Lord you want to do everything you can to draw closer to him. I know that I crave church, By the time Wednesday comes I am ready to be in the house of the Lord and WORSHIP.I am just so thankful for what God is doing in my life and for the church I go to. On another note, Yesterday we had family in from Illinois. It was so nice to get to visit with them. I made homemade Mac and Cheese for the first time. I
don't want to brag on myself but that was some of the best mac and cheese ever. Other than my Moms of course... Anyways I hope everyone has A great week and just remember to be thankful for what you have cause it could always be worse. XOXO Always
