Psalm 133 reminds me (Christy) to praise the Lord from the rising to the setting of the sun from now to forever. The Psalm goes on to remind me that I am a barren woman who has been made the happy mother of children. Oh how hard this is to remember!
The SPRINGS retreat is coming and I am so excited this year I can hardly contain myself. Being the mom of two amazing children is such a blessing, but it is so hard for me to praise the Lord every moment for this. I get so caught up in being busy - working part time distracts me; doctors appointments, physical therapy, speech therapy, etc for my lovely little one with a genetic disorder; and dance class, library time, parks for my energetic three year old - all leave me exhausted and clinging to God's promises of strength and grace for each day. I can't wait to have three days to just bask in His presence without having to cling so desperately to his promises. I want to just love God for God, not only because he gives me strength and peace and love, but because he is God and worthy to be praised! I get to walk trails, nap, praise him with singing, fellowship with beloved sisters, read my Bible for hours, journal, sleep without interruption -
OH PRAISE THE LORD.
