Praise the Lord
Oh that I would listen to the truths that I have read and heard and apply them to my life.
Psalm 138:1
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee
Psalm 150
Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments andpipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!.
Isaiah 44:23
Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.
If I would only praise the Lord with everything that is in me! How different would my life be? I would not care for the things of this world. Attention, material goods, worldly desires would mean nothing. I would be able to simply rejoice in the Lord and in His presence find my peace and my joy.
"Change my heart O God, make it ever new. Change my heart O God, may I be like you!"
Your servant, Mary

Die is Gain
When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, "You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages." To that, Calvert replied, "We died before we came here."
How true this is...the minute I surrendered my life to the Lord, I ceased to exist. I live only to glorify my Savior. However, I rarely live this way. I let school, friends, really anything come in the way of this. I am human, I am a sinner..but thankfully I have been forgiven! May I live everyday for the Lord, sharing His Name and loving His children!

Home.
I cannot wait for the day that I can truly call this country home. Until then, it has my heart and my prayers.
