Project #1.

For the next month, (so until June 9th) I want to post praise. Gratitude. thanks.

Reason #1. God says in Psalms that this is a way that you can offer a sacrifice to Him, a sacrifice of thanksgiving. So. I will sacrifice these moments to praise my Father. My God. My Jesus. I hope it will teach me to worship, even when I do not feel it. It smells good to Him.

Reason #2. Max and I have been talking about it (gratitude) a lot lately. and I don't just want to talk about it, I want to do it.

Reason #3. yesterday during worship I felt like God spoke to me during this stanza: "with all creation I sing, praise to the king of kings, you are my everything, and I will adore you." - creation was created to glorify God. the trees were created with their arms up, and I feel like God shared with me, "and so I have created you, to praise me, but I have given you a will to choose to praise me or not, to join in."

So, God, I praise you.

1. for todays sunshine, which reminds me that God created us to shine for Him. to be light.

2. the wind-chimes that I hear now.

3. laying on the grass in the sun this morning with a very good looking man. praying with him there.

4. that God promises to redeem the broken parts of our hearts. to make all things new. and that I can see places he has pruned and healed in the last year, even when I still feel like a mess now. (he will be faithful.)

5. God's love that is STEADFAST - "dutifully firm, and unwavering." and that that is enough.

6. For a job that starts tomorrow that is without a doubt fully from you! God I dont know what you ahve for me there but I accept it as a gift and I cannot wait to find out what your purposes are. YOU are good. YOU have brought me to this specific place by design, and I praise you for it. I accept where I am in life and I thank you for it!
