looking back

Last night I felt the need to look at some of my old prayer journals. Wow, I highly recommend writing your prayers down. It is so amazing to go back and look at what all the Lord has done for you. My eyes filled with tears as I passed the book over to Steven to read what all we have been delivered from.

The Lord is so amazing and so worthy of praise. Last year we went through a really tough time. Even more than two years ago when we thought our world had fallen apart. On one particular entry I had listed everything that we were facing all at once. Any normal person would not of been able to fathom enduring even the slightest. But that's just the thing. Steven and I are not normal by any means. We are children of the most high God. We put our very lives into His hands to determine what the outcome may be. And he NEVER fails. He always delivers! Everyday that went by we had nothing but him. He provided for us in ways that cannot be explained. He comforted us like none other than the Holy Spirit. He made each day passed feel like one day closer to a new beginning. I have been a little preoccupied lately, and I feel so strongly Him calling me back. So as I strive to be closer to the Lord, I will continue to write down my prayers and thoughts. There is nothing better than looking back a week, month or even years at what miracles God has brought you through.

On the outside of my journal I wrote something very small. I will leave you with these words.

Praise Him at ALL times....NO MATTER WHAT.
