Just want to Praise the Lord

I just want to stop and praise the Lord for all His goodness to me. With the flu, that seems to linger still, I have been out of my head, and He has been incredibly patient with me through some pretty negative comments to Him and a lot of doubt and questioning and.... well, it isn't always pretty when one gets to their low point.
Then, my computer mouse died and I got more negative still, with the old "Why me? Why something else? What are You doing?" syndrome. I believe I have been given some answers to those questions, actually, and I thank Him for that.
I know that He has a plan, and He wants those who will worship Him in spirit and truth, NO MATTER WHAT. That's what He is asking of me: Will I still worship Him? Remember what Job did after all his troubles? It says He bowed down and worshipped! Wow! Did I worship? Not as much as I wish I had. I complained a lot....
But I did try to seek Him evey day, even if some of it consited of pouring out my comaplaint before Him. He spoke to me, too, incredibly. Even when I didn't "feel" much, He did explain a few things to me during that time. He was with me, even when I couldn't "feel" it, I know that. At times, I really wondered, and I felt like I "gave up" a time or two. But, I know He loves me!
I got onto saying, "I CAN do all things through Christ Who strengthens me," and, whenever I said that, I had the strength to go on and face whatever it was.
He has gracisously showed me some areas to work on, and that is really what going through stuff is for -- to show us what's really inside, because it has a way of surfacing when times are tough. So, now, it's surfaced, just how to get it skimmed off (as the Bible talks about dross), so the gold can come out?
He already warned me more fire is coming on His church, because we are in the purification proccess for the soon return of Christ.... Hooboy! Fasten your seatbelts!
Anyway, PRAISE THE LORD, for helping me through and getting me back on line!
(Just pray He touches my puter, which keeps malfuncitoning with the "Windows 32 must close yada yada" message tonight, which is very discouraging....)

Finding YOU in 2005
Posted by: pickone
Lord, I just stand here with JeriRose and praise Your Name for all You have been doing in our lives. We are grateful that You are our Father, and that You see all things. We thank You for being our buckler and shield. We thank You for setting us down in Your tall high tower, and when we slip, we are grateful for all the towers You've put around us when we are at our lowest point. We thank You for allowing us to see Your bright Morning Star when we look up in the midst of Your hedges of protection. In Jesus' Name we submit our lives to Your honor and glory and blessing.....Amen.
