He put a new song in my mouth...

It has been quite an awakening going through the book of Psalms. Before this challenge, most of my prayers to God always included some sort of "God I need this" and "God please give me this" or "God I could really use...". But now that I am going through Psalms, I am finding myself praising God with every word of my prayers. I have learned so much about myself and about God.



Yesterday I read Psalm 40. Which is one of my favorite Psalms. I really feel like I can relate to what David was feeling. I just get drug through the mire and muck of this world because of my sins, I feel lonely and all that I can do is cry out to God. And every time this happens, God always hears me and pulls me out. All I can ever give Him back is my 'sad little praise'. By the time I am finished praising Him, it's like I am back in the mud and muck all over again and I am crying out for His mercy and Love and Help.



My favorite part of the Psalm is the very end and it was what really got me the most:



Yet I am poor and needy;

may the Lord think of me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

O my God, do not delay.

I am really excited about this new endeavor. I really love this book and I feel so much closer to God already. I have a new outlook on life and I can find God in everything that happens (The title is Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi).

In other news, I still have not found a job...or I guess I have found many jobs, but the jobs have not found me! heh heh. But I really am not worried. I know that the right job will come at the right time. I am, however, tired of filling out applications! But oh well. It's been kind of nice to have all the time I want ( I have been working out for the past week and I have discovered new gameshows on GSN-Chain Reaction haha).

Oh and Congratulations to Brendan on the new job! That is so exciting!

Bye for now!
