One of my favorite Psalms. I have read it so many times, even memorized parts of it, but today God showed me something new from this Psalm.
"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You." Psalm 139:7-12
So many times over the past two years, I have felt angry and frustrated with God. I don't understand why He doesn't heal Ruby; I don't get why He has made things so hard. Yet, time and time again, I have felt His grip on me. Even when I am in a dark place, God has been there with me. These verses reminded me that even when I try to wallow in self pity and make my "bed in the depths", even when I am apathetic towards God because of our situation, God is NEVER apathetic towards me! He continues to pursue me and love on me and give me exactly what I need. Praise God for His never ending love and faithfulness.

Thanks, Kelli, for reminding me that God is in control and things are never out of His control. He is faithful and there are times when I do not personally feel His faithfulness. Thanks for making me say a prayer of thankfulness today.
Love you all. Mom
I love Psalm 139, too, and today God reminded me of a verse in the Psalm right before it. Psalm 138:8 in the NASB says, "The Lord will accomplish what concerns me." It's so amazing to me that, not only does God know what weighs heavy on our hearts, but He already has it taken care of in His timing and in His way. Shaun and I pray for you often. Much Love, Courtney
