Abba, we’re here.
Once again we made it safely to the mountains and thank You that they
are still here. I want to thank You for
all that You do, have done and are doing in my life. It was this time of year, so many years ago,
that I surrendered my life to You and I am forever grateful for You calling me
to be Your child. Thank You for Jesus,
for His life, death and resurrection.
For forgiving me and for desiring to be in relationship with me, for
Your Spirit and His indwelling within my sinner’s heart. For Your faithfulness even when I am not and
for Your AMAZING Grace that has brought me thus far and will at last bring me
home. I just want to spend each and
every moment loving You and being loved by You.
There is no greater joy than knowing I am Yours and You are mine.

Praise
Praise has the power to heal. Praise = admiration. To not admire would mean to miss out of
something. To admire is to simply be
awake, to have entered into the real world.
(Keller quoting CS Lewis)
This morning I started the day
listening to the Prayer (David Archuleta), a recording I admire greatly. Just hearing him sing, his voice joined with
the other vocalist, the instruments and the words . . . caused a response of such peace, joy
and a surrender - to be lost in the
moment. I’m just so grateful for the
experience. Such is admiration.
This is what praising our Father is
like. It touches something so deep
within us that we are changed by the experience. It’s not something we can muster up or make
happen. It’s something we can enter into
when we give Him the opportunity, to listen and just be present with Him, when
we give Him our focus and attention . . . He is there with us and we are
forever changed.
