I spent the night alone last night. my mom has had the kids all week, and last night dh went down to SLC to watch a small neighborhood children's parade that the kids are in this morning. and I stayed all by myself in our big empty house. ever notice how your house gets bigger when you are the only one there? I locked all the doors after he left and was fine until bedtime. then I started to get worry-ish. but I prayed and then I lay down and tried to sleep through all the house creaks and scary thoughts in my head. cerdercitymom told me that she repeated the name of the Lord over and over, so I took her advice, and sang hymns. I sang until I could no longer keep from yawning. I sang my favorite hymn, the hymn that followed me through Europe as a student traveling. Every Sunday, no matter what country I was in, I attended church. and from my first Sunday in Italy, Easter Sunday in Greece, to a service in Scotland, the Lord arranged that we would sing "How Firm a Foundation." In Europe, it was the second verse that spoke so powerfully to me. letting me know that wherever I was, so the Lord was too!1. How firm a foundation, ye Saints of the Lord, 2. In ev’ry condition—in sickness, in health, 3. Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, It is co-incidentally, or not, based on one of my favorite scriptures, Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." A scripture I discovered as a girl being deathly afraid of spiders. last night it was the third verse that I sang over and over until I drifted into sleep. Praise God! He is so good and He loves me!!!!! And He will take care of me! I need to remember how He takes care of the sparrows, and how He has taken care of me in the past. forgive me, friends for being personal here, but this is the only journal I have at the moment, and I NEED to record these thoughts so that I do not forget again. It is a lonely scary world without the Lord in your life. Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 85 of 210 } { Next Page } |
