This week has been a crazy, stressful, emotional one. I am glad for grace and strength and breath to be able to make it through. If not for the grace of God I don't know what I would've done.
It's been one thing after another; fevers, headaches, fasting, praying, all kinds of attacks, workouts, cramps, phone calls, emails, and the list goes on. Boy am I thankful for another day. A day to start over, to begin again.
I am thankful that as a Christ follower I have hope in tomorrow. I have Hope, He is Hope, my Hope. I can face anything with Him. My family had a scary moment this past Sunday. Had it not been for God's grace and strength I probably would've lost it. I read a scripture of encouragement to our church and this is the one I selected. Looking back now I believe God had selected it for me. I lifted my eyes toward heaven and in an inaudible voice, I cried out to God. I lifted my eyes and heart toward heaven and He heard my cry and answered it. Sunday will prove to be very vivid in my mind for years to come but not as a terrible day but a reminder that God is with me and my family, with you too. And that He watches over me and mine and that He doesn't slumber or sleep. His eye is constantly on me and mine and yes, on you too. I was reminded as I sat and watched my little prince sleep. I watched him breathe so peacefully. I watched his closed eyes move and his little mouth make sweet sounds and movements. God reminded me that as I sit and watch my princes sleep, He does that day in and day out without rest. I was blown away by that. I knew that He did that for me and I saw God in a new light. As Father and protector. As sweet as any good daddy. I was blown away. This scripture means something new to me today. I have read it countless times and it always touched me but yesterday and right now, it means something so much sweeter and real than anything I can touch right now. Know that He is watching over you. That He loves you. That with Him you can face the toughest challenges. Psalm 121:1-8...

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
