ctlss's Journal, 17 November 2010

This is what woke me this morning, literally, this was running through my mind as I slept...and as usual when He calls I listen...

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name.....

I went to bed last night with so many of my FS friends and the loads that they are carrying, and overcoming, on my mind. Squigg's mom, your back, your dh's family, Leanne's little problem, Laurie's brush with disaster, Cindy's granddaughter, Lotus's struggles, Andrea and her hubby, Is...so many of my FS buddies are going through so much, and so I said some extra prayers before I went to bed, asking God for some peace for them and some relief from their burdens, and I woke to this song (and He Reigns), blasting through my mind...and it would not be quiet, so I got up.


I decided to share I needed to share...



May God's blessings reign down on all of you today, and every day, and may it be turned back to praise!!!

Keli, me too, it is soooo awesome. I added a bit of backstory to the journal body, since I felt the need to explain a bit.

Hi Stef- I've always loved that song... especially the part - Every blessing You pour out, I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, Still I will say- Blessed be the name of the Lord! Those lines get me every time. (maybe because I still have to work on praising Him when times aren't as good :( ). Thanks, Stef - I feel you've just bless us all! Oh, and MY bad for missing your journal entry both BEFORE the duck/non-entry (lol) AND the one you made just for me! :D So glad to hear your pops is doing better now and was able to get that injection! Snow... okay... NOW do I picture you sitting by the fire? Maybe working on some project or another, or reading a fine book?

Lotus, of course your burden feels lighter, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 NIV I will pray for you. You are so special!

RWL, I love it also, and when I woke this morning with this in my head (along with He Reigns), I knew there was a reason. I used to tell people all the time to listen to their hearts, that when their hearts speak, it is God talking to them, but most of the time I didn't take my own advice. Well, I have started to heed my own words, and when He speaks so loudly, I cannot ignore Him. He knows things!! lol I am glad that you enjoyed the song. Music is my favorite way to worsip. It always has been. And yes, I did a journal entry just for you...I am glad that you found it, and thanks so much for yor thoughts about my dad! I truly appreciate it!
