Today I turn "45"!!!!

45! Did you hear that! 45!!!!!

I don't feel 45! I still see myself as a young person! I'm sure the young ladies are having a good laugh over that! One thing that really blows my mind is that I am the age now that my girlfriend's parents were, when we were in high school! Again I don't feel that old! I am trying to come up with some wise words today because it just seems like I should have some! Hummm.....maybe if I ponder it awhile, but then again I lose thoughts pretty fast anymore, so that may not be a good idea!

The Lord has blessed me beyond measure and I look forward to serving him the rest of my life! I have struggled with alot of insecurity issues all my life, and I continue to need to lean on him for instruction and comfort. Here are just a few portions of scriptures that God has used in my life to help me know what he thinks of me:

2 Samuel 22: 17-20

"He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
¹⁸He rescued me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
¹⁹They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the LORD was my support.
²⁰ He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

(This is also found in Psalms 18:16-19)

Zephaniah 3:14-17

Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
The LORD has taken away the judgments against you;
he has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;
you shall never again fear evil.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:"Fear not, O Zion;
let not your hands grow weak.
The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

He has shown me that He is my Stronghold (Psalms 18:1-3)

He is my Shield (Psalms 5:11 & 12)

He is my Salvation (Psalms 27:1)

He is my Sustainer (Isaiah 46:3&4)

He is my Hope (Psalms 25:2-4)

He is my King (Rev 19:16)

He is so much more to me, but I have to go to work now! Have a blessed day you all!
