Praising God

God is so worthy of any and all praise that I can give. Not only do I exalt Him in song & with my words, but I praise Him in my attitudes and actions as well. I learn to do this as our relationship grows deeper. I'm praying today that everything about my life glorifies God. His Word says that we inhabit the praises of His people. I'm motivated to teach Amanda & Ashley how to praise God. Psalm 8:2 says "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise". It's never to early to teach them. By teaching them how to offer praise to God, I am helping them to fulfill one of their greatest callings in life---to bring praise, glory & honor to their Heavenly Father. My goal is to give glory to God in front of them, when unexpected blessings come our way. When we're going through a difficult time, I praise God for His faithfulness to carry us through life's circumstances. I want them to know that I'm so thankful for them, God's gift given to me. God is so good to show me this. I truly love my precious family! Delbert & I are truly becoming one...what an awesome experience. I love my husband!!!! His sheep, Joyce

GRACE

I am so thankful to know my friend Emily, she is amazing! The Grace of God has truly covered her. I'm in Awe of how well she is facing Cancer...fighting the good fight of Faith. I pray that if ever in her circumstances, I will do the same. I love you Emily, just as Christ loves me!!! I'm praying for you, and inspired by your testimony. God really covered me also, yesterday with much grace. I had an ultrasound & mamogram, done. I may have a cyst or lump in my breast. God gave me much comfort & help through that. I was shocked, but over a few hours, realized whatever the outcome, it's in God's hand & is His plan. I'm so thankful for His Word, it's alive & active in my Life. God is good and worthy of all praise that I give. May I always let everything about my life glorify God. May Amanda & Ashley notice the example I set. I pray that our home will be filled with God's presence as we continually exalt His Holy Name. Praising the Lord for all His blessings!!! His sheep, Joyce

God is so Awesome

God has worked in so many ways since last year. Delbert & I are together...Praise God. Our marriage has been rescued. We are doing so well, I give God all the Glory. God is transforming our lives and marriage into his wonderful plan. There is so much to share, maybe I will post more often. Our goal for 2011, is to read through the Word of God, together. So far, it's been awesome. I'm amazed of God's grace & mercy.
