| Went to my grandparents cottage in Gladwin MI this past
week. It's one of my favorite get away spots. We rarely
plan anything except meal time... and the rest of the days
are filled with sun, swimming, a camp fire, boating, sun-bathing,
sun-burns, ice coffee, ice-cream store run in the evening, chatting,
laughing... it's a blast to just relax with the family.
It was fun too this year because Tali's finance and my friend drove
up on Saturday to hang out with us.:)

| Praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD, O my soul
I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Psalm 146 1-2
I've been reading the Psalms backwards.
All the Psalms I have read have focused on
praising the Lord. So I have been mediating and
thinking upon what it means to praise God.
To praise Him when you get rear ended, when
its your dish duty week, when you don't feel
like it, when the sky is gray or when you
just simply want to play...
I was just chilling in the sanctuary before Shiloh and
I wrote a little something down:
Pictures of grace
the most wonderful place
forgiveness and freedom
no longer a trace
all is forgiven
the true picture of grace
such an undeserving place...
snapshots of all I've done wrong
I am new and white
the old has gone
the bad has passed away
and today is a new day
a window to my soul
sometimes I hate what I see
how can He still love me?
When all my past, present and
future He can see
Pictures of Grace how Amazing is He
How beautiful this is to me...

| Psalm 34:1
I will extol the LORD at ALL times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
I was reading this psalm earlier this week and it got me thinking...
How often do I praise my King? How often do I truly say "God, thank you
for being in control"? Is it only when everything is going well? Do I praise
Him when I wake up with a soar throat? Do I praise Him when I
wake up late and have to rush off to school?
Too often I/we forget that everyday can be and should be a day of worship to our
Creator, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He supplies me with each and every breath,
So why should I think that I have any excuse not to give Him thanks and praise
each day?
I hope and pray to see His glory in ways i am not expecting this
summer. my hope and prayer is that I will continue to decrease and
that He would increase. I feel that there is still SO much that I still
need to work on and change in my own life... I know though that
he can give me the strength and perseverance to put one foot in
front of the other and continue in the path of change and of serving HIm
