Just Reading God's Word

and thinking of you.

Psalm 119 is my favorite of all. A few years ago I asked the Lord to show me how to praise Him and we journeyed through the book of Psalms together.....what a blessing. Today I was reading and thinking about my hopes for 2011. I came upon this passage and thought of you.

25 I lie in the dust;
      revive me by your word.
 26 I told you my plans, and you answered.
      Now teach me your decrees.
 27 Help me understand the meaning of your commandments,
      and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.
 28 I weep with sorrow;
      encourage me by your word.
 29 Keep me from lying to myself;
      give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.
 30 I have chosen to be faithful;
      I have determined to live by your regulations.
 31 I cling to your laws.
      Lord, don’t let me be put to shame!
 32 I will pursue your commands,
      for you expand my understanding.


I love that you're such a first born (just like me), I know that you had a plan and if you're like me you were telling God what it was. I know His answer was unexpected and heart breaking. I will continue to pray that God teaches, explains and encourages and that you are protected from harmful lies. I know that you and Jeff have chosen to be faithful, pursuing God and growing in understanding. 


You rock! Love you, Sarah
