Encouraged

Thank you so much for your sweet words of encouragement and prayers! I am doing much better as I begin this week. I had the sweetest voice mail from a friend today - just reminded me again of how richly blessed I am. There is something that just wraps your heart up like a blanket when someone calls and offers anything they can think of to help you through a rough spot! Love you, Jennifer!
Something is currently wrong with my pictures but I will get some up here as soon as that gets fixed. Until then, here are some verses God has given me in this trial that I am reading each day and just allowing them to soak into my spirit. May they bless you today!


Psalm 34


1 I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

9 Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Glad to know you're feeling encouraged by His scriptures today, Courtney. I've been praying for you! I hope you continue to feel better, and continue learning from Him through this process. Love you!

What a blessing that scripture is... thank you for posting it. I appreciate you sharing your struggle as a testimony to how God brings you through and how He uses people and His word to do so.

I love to read scripture that has directly spoken to and uplifted someone else - thanks for sharing.

And as far as pictures go, when I get around to having a third, I'll let you know how I do with pictures and posting...I'm betting not so hot :) There are more important things...although I definitely won't be complaining when I get to see more pictures of your little munchkins!

I just read Ps 31 - 34 last night and it was a great comfort to me for everything going on. I'm so glad God's word is such good soul food!
