Powell Paraphrases 9 verses #4
In you o' Lord will I put my trust. You are faithful. You lift up all who are bowed down and you hear their cries and save them. You make our enemy's flee and cut off all who do not remain in you. You will answer your promise to me and you will do what you say. For you are good in all your works. And I am your masterpiece. You rejoice over me with singing and nothing can take away your love for me.

Mercy in the Morning
Meditating on this today:
I made an error yesterday, did something *minor* but still something am not proud of...
I thought to myself, "So thankful the Lords Mercy is new every morning."#Epiphany
But WAIT--His Mercy is new every MOMENT. I don't have to wait until the morning to be made NEW. #MindBlown
I can reach out to my loving Father and confess and submit to him right in that moment. #Repent
But WAIT--His Mercy is new every MOMENT. I don't have to wait until the morning to be made NEW. #MindBlown
I can reach out to my loving Father and confess and submit to him right in that moment. #Repent
*Poof* It's gone. <snap>. #Justifed. Just-if-I'd never sinned. Because, His love NEVER Ceases and His faithfulness is great! #GodsWordFTW
Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Refined as Gold...
I've been reflecting the last few days about the last 2 years of my life. I began this journey saying that whatever happened, I wanted to respond in a Christ honoring way. I wanted my children to see my witness and testimony of how I pressed into the Lord.
I wanted to love and to be merciful and gracious to those who were hurting me & during circumstances that were beyond my control. I have NOT been perfect at this. Many times I have made mistakes, but overall... I think I have done well.
I could not imagine when I wrote this post 2 years ago, how much "refining" the Lord would do. To say that is is painful is an understatement, words can't describe the sheer devastation that comes with the kind of loss I've had in the last 2 years. But ... BUT... I would not change a single thing!! I love who I am now...
And God is not done with me. I still cannot wait to see who I am when He is!!!. I have endured so much loss -but pruning, stripping- has to be done in order for growth to occur. And I am the healthiest and happiest I've ever been in my life. #GettingStrongerEveryday #GodsWordFTW#Jesus

Priceless
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU.
Has had one all along!
You are His MASTERPIECE.
His finest work.
His poem.
His showcase...
Walk with your head high and own that you are PRICELESS.
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
