How Great is Our God!

Well, it has been a while since I have update this blog, so today was the day I thought I would do this. Things since the last time I wrote things have been great. God is working in my life to reveal things that I have put in the deepest part of my mind, but God wanted me to be healed from these memories to be set free.

Sunday January 25, 2009 was my 32 birthday. I think it was the best birthday ever other then my 30th birthday when I went away with mom and Cliff. On Sunday I was given a balloon hat and let me tell you that I wore that thing proudly. I went to Boston Pizza and had about 23 people there to celebrate with me. It was the best time. Then we went to Noemie's house for awhile, that was also great. Then Jenny took me to the movies and we saw BRIDE WARS. It was good, but I think I would tell people to wait till it comes out on DVD. I truly believe that God has a fantastic year for me as long as I seek his face. I will post picture of the hat when I get a chance.

VERY FUNNY!

Psalm 23

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

I was blessed in reading this Psalm for Gray when I was visiting Noah in the hospital. This Psalm will forever hold a special place in my heart as well as the people I was reading it for (NOAH, GRAY AND LIZ.)

2008: What can I say.

2008 brought many different things in my life both good and bad. Most were good though. Feb/08 lost my job but I gave me the chance to trust in God all the more. April/08 I was blessed by receiving 400.00 dollars. June/08 I went to South Carolina and was part of a family for 3 weeks and 2 days. I was really blessed by Pr's Joey and Renee and there girls, Bella and Emma. Dec/08 the last day of the year, I was bless to meet the Sheppard Family at Sick Kids Hospital. Again I felt the love of a family from Noah, Gray and Liz. I was able to pray with them and read scripture. I was truly blessed. God brought the Sheppard family to me for a reason. Thank you God.

Happy 2009 to all!
