Well,I'm horribly behind on my blogging through the Alphabet series. Please forgive me. Its been crazy around here. We've had some hard things - like my FIVE trips to the dentist and then a trip to the endodontist for a root canal. YIKES! It hasn't been pleasant. And my youngest had to have a test done for a condion she has had since before she was born. Praise the Lord, the test came back very good! We also had my oldest's 3rd birthday - which is FABULOUS! But she's REFUSING to potty train. ARGH!!!!! AT the moment, I my kitchen is a mess, there's a pile of laundry in the bedroom, and I've been in my pajamas since I got home from church. But I'm plodding along, praise Jesus! Anyway, its been a rough few weeks for us - full of lots of UPs and lots of DOWNs. I also have several friends who are going through hardships and trials or all sorts - physical, emotional, financial. Life seems to like to beat on us. So I wondered what I could possibly say for my G post and I decided that everyone needs a "good word!" But my words are flawed. My words are sinful. My words don't heal, protect or comfort. But God's word does! God's word is truly a GOOD WORD! SO with that in mind, I'm gonna use His words for my G post. This is one of my favorite psalms. Its a constant reminder of what an amazing, generous, caring, comforting, loving, forgiving, WONDERFUL God we serve!
