I will praise you forever for what you have done;
in your name I will hope, for your name is good.
I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
Psalm 52:9
in your name I will hope, for your name is good.
I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
Psalm 52:9
Taking time away for a vacation is so refreshing! To get away and just be "you" is refreshing, rejuvenating, and a necessity! Branden and I cherish our getaways and this time it was much needed.
Being in the midst of such stunning scenery can only lift your spirits! It was so refreshing to walk to the ocean each morning with no agenda and just allow yourself and mind to relax! I tend to be a thinker...or as others would say, a worrier: ) But just sitting and starring out into the endless ocean would hypnotize me.
I also loved spending quality time with my husband and friends!
The whole week I could not stop giving thanks for all God has created, done, and is doing.
While we were in Hawaii we celebrated Easter! I loved celebrating Christ's resurrection in his beautiful creation! It was a wonderful reminder that He is alive, His love is everlasting and He deserves all of our praise!
Throughout the week I reflected on some current situations that I have been dealing with it and began to see a need for a shift within me. I felt that is was time to let go, stop dwelling on the problems and start living a life of deep praise. I want praise and adoration to flow from my lips with sincerity and love. It is time for me to stop thinking about all that is wrong and start giving praise where praise is due!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalm 100:4
We are called to live a life of praise and thanksgiving. This isn't a choice we have but rather a command God calls us to. I think I carelessly skip over this part of my life because it I think I already am thankful. But am I? Am I truly living my days with praise and honor for my King?
Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind for your love is ever before me and I walk continually in your truth.
Ps. 26:2.3
This has been my prayer as of lately, and I have been challenged to live a life of deep gratitude to my Savior. This Easter was a heart-check for me. It was I who deserved that cross yet because of God's love and sacrifice I have eternal life. That alone demands all my praise, all my life, and thanks!
May you begin to see the other side of life;not what we don't have BUT all that we have been given!
pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
