Desires

Alright so Kathy I am glad you got yours earlier this afternoon. It isn't yet 3, thank goodness but hey 11 is late when you have to be a work by seven. When I read these verses I knew I needed to share them. They are a group of verses that I know you all have read and I even talked about one of them on my last blog entry but they went right along with what we talked about today. But no matter who you are these verses I think are just so strong. These verses have got me through a lot. So here you go.

Pslams 37:1-9

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your wway to the Lord;
trust in Him and He will do this.
He will make your righteousness shine like dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him,
do not fret when men succeed in thier ways,
When they carry out thier wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret -it only leads to evil.
For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord will inhert the land.

Just a little food for thought. I hope those verses help you as much as they helped me.

I am so excited to that I only have seven more days until I get to leave the cold behind and go to the much nicer temperatures of Haiti!

M-dizzle you are certianly welcome to join the club that can't wait. Though I will warn join this club come with side effects. You may have a tendency to be impatient, you may also find you self overwhelmed with waiting, this club also sometimes makes waiting seem longer than it really is. You may also find your selve falling into a deeper relationship with God. Other side effects include irrtebilty, incongestion, and any other medical condition you might think of. Ok totally kidding about the other side effects part, i just wanted to write it.
