LIFE

Life has been good, I cannot complain. I have been busy, I went to AR revival (Pastor was preaching) it was GREAT! We stayed with saints in Forrest City and had a WONDERFUL TIME! We came back and had our own revival here in Joliet with Pastor Troy Jones from Florida. It was a AWSOME Revival! God really meet me at both revivals! God has really been blessing my soul and I am greatly encouraged to serve God!

I have so much, so much, to thank God, thank God for.
I have so much, so much, to thank God for,
He's making ways for me, He gives me victory,
He open's doors for me that I'm unable to see,
So much to thank God for.

I was thinking last week how much I really have to be thankful for. People who are not saved go through so much pain, heartache and trouble because of their sin. Their "bad days" are so much far worse than my "bad days". I am truly thankful for salvation, sactification, the saints, God's promises and His Word.

I have also been thinking lately about the promises of God, that firm foundation we can stand on in those times when it seems hard to trust God. I've got to stand on the promises of God. It is the firm foundation that gets us through difficult times in life. Check out page p. 323 - How Firm A Foundation and p. 327? - Standing on the Promises in the COG Hymnal

Here is a verse of HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION -
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

And a verse of STANDING ON THE PROMISES -
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

I should get up pictures later of our February event...finally got them from my Dad's camera. But I have a busy weekend, some of the YP are going to Bloomington to see the Passion Play. I am excited!!
