My soul clings to you; Your right hand upholds me. (Psalm 63:8 NIV)
When I last blogged in December, we had so much going on. Nickolas was about to have eye surgery, Brian was going in for a colonoscopy, and we were debating removing Dakota from public school. It was a stressful. It was confusing.
It was one of life's storms. I was afraid. I was restless.
I needed to cling to HIM.....and cling I did!
Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 94:19
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,Your comforts delight my soul.
Psalm 18:1-3,28,35
I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
I turned to HIM. When the anxieties were to0 great. When fear was overwhelming my soul. When doubt was threatening to pierce the light of faith. I turned to HIM!
What did I get in return? Peace. Comfort. Strength for the journey. His promises revealed in my life!!
Over the last few months, I have seen long time prayers answered. Anxiety that has plagued me for over a year? VANISHED! He is good....soooo good! His mercies are new every morning and He is ever-present & faithful, even when we're not!
By the way, Nickolas came through surgery like a champ! He has had his check ups since then and doesn't even need glasses!!
Brian had the colonoscopy and we are praising God that he did! He had a couple of polyps removed & one was pre-cancerous! The cause of his bleeding was something minor not even related to the polyps. Thanking God that Brian had the procedure, because if he hadn't, the cancer would have been a huge issue in a year or two!
Dakota? We took him out of public school after Christmas break. I have been homeschooling him ever since. I've already seen a difference in his reading!! We just received our curriculum for the Fall and I am excited to see how much he enjoys it! I really think it is going to be a fun year for both he and Nickolas!!
Lesson learned through the trials....always turn to HIM! He will get you through...for when we are weak, HE IS STRONG!!!
