Lately, I have been really fighting through a tough time which I honestly don't understand. My heart aches, I've had moments of being incredibly afraid, I'm tired of it all, I just don't understand... I really don't understand. I don't understand, but I can praise Him. I don't understand, but I can reach my arms up and cling tightly to my Heavenly Father and rest my head against His Chest and let His Heartbeat calm me. I don't understand, but He is good and He is Faithful and He Loves me... so if I claim to believe in Him, at all, I must -- not I may -- trust Him wholeheartedly with abandonment of all that would hinder. If His Promises are true, it is for good and not for bad that He allows me to hurt, to weep, to strive so much. Shall I tell Him that I know better? Shall I desire something after He, who has promised to withhold "no good thing" from those who walk uprightly, has shown me that it is not best? Shall I tell Him by my heart's cry that I want anything besides Him and all that He has done for me and promised me and desires for me, out of His great Love? No... I don't understand, but I can praise and thank Him for all I need -- all that His Grace provides. I don't see the meaning of it all, but I know that He is Good and that He only allows what is meant for my good. I can trust. I don't understand the situation, but I KNOW that He is Faithful and so I will witness of His Character, even... no... ESPECIALLY in this situation, to all who will see or hear. I will praise Him. I will not trust the look or feel of any situation more than the Character of His Heart. I will trust and will strive to never cease to thank Him who is Faithful beyond all earthly measure of faithfulness' bounty. I will. May my heart and life, words and actions, be such as would please Him, truly please Him. Thank you so much for this, and your last post, Tim. You have blessed me so much as you seek after God and seek to reflect Him purely and without compromise in your life. Thank you! God bless you, brother! This was so, so encouraging to me.

I think I have been the same way as of late. It is hard to keep the things to be thankful in our foremost thoughts. Instead we are always thinking of the things that we are worrying about. I think that is the biggest way that satan manages to snare us. He puts all the things that are worries and things that seem important in the front of our eyes, so that we take our eyes off of Jesus and the really important things like being thankful. Thanks for this post. It puts being thankful back into focus. by the way... are you a senior this year? I see you are 18, but I can't find if you are a senior. If you are, I am hosting a giveaway for the Class of 2008. The link is: http://superangelsblog.com/?p=93 Have a great nite! Prayers and Blessings, Miss Amanda These are great thoughts, Tim.
