I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn
me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from
Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those
who go down to the pit.

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
-Psalm 30:1-5


May all kings fall down before him,
all nations serve him!

For he delivers the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.
From oppression and violence he redeems
their life,
and precious is their blood in his sight.

Long may he live;
may gold of Sheba be give to him!
May prayer be made for him continually,
and blessings invoked for him all the day!
May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people blossom in the cities
like the grass of the field!
May his name endure forever,
his fame continue as long as the sun!
May people be blessed in him,
all nations call him blessed!

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory!
AMEN and AMEN!
-Psalm 72:11-19

WOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO WOOOO WOOOO WOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

PRAAAAAISE GOD PRAAAAAAISE GOD!!!

you say

I've always known it deep down, but often take for granted and overlook what an extraordinary blessing I have been appropriated. It truly is special, I'm so glad I have curly hair!

this guy

you may scream and i may shout.

Shouting is all I really want to do. All I really feel like is worth doing.

I'm tired of debating, tired of convincing, tired of arguing, tired of adhering to the virtues of patience and gentleness and understanding.

It feels like I am not accomplishing anything and not capable of accomplishing anything. It seems like life is slipping quickly and uneventfully. I just want a job to do, any responsibility I could do everyday. But that would even possibly make me feel just as stagnant, because I'm measuring success by the results I think are present, instead of God's measure of obedience. Oh God, your ways are so NOT my ways.
