psalm100 -> A little rambling (4/9/2008 5:38:06 PM)
Praise the Lord Saints of God!!!! I hope everyone is doing well. It's pretty much the same old, same old with me. I am still hanging on to my faith in Jesus Christ. I look back at my life and see the many times where Jesus carried me through my trials and hardships. The trials and hardships are still present, but they are less tense now. I am a little worried/concerned about my finances. It seems as if the price of everything is rising. I can definatley tell by looking at my bank account this morning. I know there are areas where I need to be a little more conservative such as eating out everyday. I decided that I am going to the grocery and stock up on food. I plan to cook more to cut down on my expenses. God gives us wisdom about things. He gave me a few suggestions on ways to cut my expenses. Hopefully, within a next couple of months I will be able to get a raise on my job. My spring semester classes will be ending soon. So far I have A averages. I am hoping and praying that the Lord will help me to be able to pay for my summer classes. All in all the Lord is good. PS---- Please pray for my mother. She received a negative report from the doctor. I won't go into detail with you all just yet. As usual the enemy tries to make you think the worst of the worst. BUT he is a LIAR!!!!

psalm100 -> RE: A little rambling (4/14/2008 9:22:01 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! Just checking in with you guys. I hope all is well with everyone. I am feeling a wee bit discouraged today. Things just aren't happening quickly enough. I know that patience/longsuffering is one of the fruit of the spirit. I know this fruit needs to be developed in my life. Waiting upon God can really, really test your faith. But I know God will give me the ability to wait upon Him. I am disgusted about the latest news today. A man having a baby. This is utterly disgusting and I am sure God is not pleased. In my opinion this "man" is a woman no matter how many surgeries "he" has had. This "he " is no different than a heteorsexual woman giving birth to a child. Imagine how this child maybe confused when he/she gets older. People have defied the Living God with this garbage. All I can do is pray that they repent and turn from their wicked ways. Keep this nation/world in prayer.

psalm100 -> Forgiven (4/19/2008 10:10:47 PM)
Praise the Lord!!!! Today I ran into a young man who used to live in my neighborhood when I was about 14yrs. old. The young man and my brothers were great friends. This particular young man used to live a wild crazy lifestlye. When I saw him today he told me that he had given his life to the Lord. He is now married and has kids. He told me that Jesus is the only way to go and that accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is the best decision he ever made. Needless, to say I was amazed at how God saved this young man. It really encouraged me to hear him talking about serving and loving the Lord. This just lets me know that no one is beyond God's reach no matter what former lifestyle they once lived. The Lord forgives all of our sins and remembers them no more. Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered.

psalm100 -> Sad news (4/26/2008 10:44:27 PM)
Praise the Lord!! I don't know where to begin. I just found out this week that my prayer partner and friend has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I was really in a state of shock. I am saddened by the news. But I know God is going to take care of her. I just want to be there to support, pray, and encourage her. Also my mother will get the results of her test on next week. My mother is worried sick. I told her to try to calm down and trust the Lord. I know I have to be strong in the Lord so that I can be strong for my mother and my friend. The burdens I have been facing lately seem to back to back. I had a good crying episode on Thurs. The "why me, Lord?" cry. I am reminded of the Lord's Words" in the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world". Troubles, problems, and trials are inevitable. If you don't have problems, I want to know what planet are you living on. Anyways please pray for my friend and my mother.

psalm100 -> A little update (5/6/2008 5:49:34 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! My spring semester classes have finally ended. I passed both classes successfully. The time and money were definately worth the sacrifice. My friend will start her chemo soon. She seems to be in good spirits. She is trusting God for healing and restoration of her body. I plan to do all I can to help her through this trying time. Also please pray for my niece. She had another ministroke on Sunday. She was looking forward to going to church, but instead she spent the day in the hospital. She has already had 2 major brain surgeries. Please pray that God will touch her body and cause her to regain use of her left arm and leg. Pray for me as well. I am going thru another bout of depression. Pray that the Lord will sustain me and cause me to have peace and joy in the midst of my trials.

psalm100 -> RE: A little update (5/7/2008 7:20:42 PM)
Praise the Lord!!!! Well this morning I heard the words "get rid of it". I know this must have come from the Lord. It was like these words popped out of thin air. Well, anyway I have been having a bad attitude towards someone. I have been asking God to help me change my attitude towards this person. I even find myself talking bad about this person. I need the Lord's help to help me to be able to like this person and to speak well of this person. This just lets me know that I have a long way to go. God is not through with me yet.

psalm100 -> update (5/13/2008 5:10:05 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I am still holding on to my faith in the Lord. I recently spoke to my friend who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will be starting her chemo treaments soon. Thank God the cancer hasn't spread to any other part of her body. She seems to be doing fine. She and I are praying for a miracle that all of the cancer cells will be destroyed. We both know that God is more than able to perfrom a mighty miracle. Please pray for her that God will strengthen and heal her body. It's always helpful to read in the Bible all of the mighty healing miracles the Lord performed. My favorite instance is found in Matthew 8:1-4. I can actually visualize this scene in my head. God was more than willing to heal this leper who may have been treated like an outcast because of his disease. Also pray for me. I am so confused about my life. I know what I want out of life, but I am not sure what it is that God wants to do with my life. My goals seem so far from my reach. I know a confused mind is not of the Lord. Pray that the Lord will give me clarity and direction concerning my life.

psalm100 -> Regrets (5/17/2008 12:12:02 AM)
Praise the Lord!!! Well, this is the second night in a row that I can't sleep. Right now, I am on an anxiety rollercoaster. My emotions are getting in the way of me seeking the Lord. I am struggling everyday to hold on to my faith in the Lord. Nothing seems to be going right. I try to think that there are people worse off than I am. What do you do when you pray and pray and God seems so silent? His silence is frustrating me even the more. I am mad at myself. I have so many regrets. Things I should have done, but didn't. Maybe if I would have done those things my life wouldn't be so miserable now. I can't turn back the hands of time. All I can do is hope and pray for better days ahead.

psalm100 -> Missing my grandmother (5/21/2008 10:12:47 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I am still here only by the grace of God. It has been 6mos since my grandmother died of cancer. I had a dream about her last night. She was wearing a pink and white flowery dress. Her teeth was as white as snow. I kept telling her that we (my family) missed her. She then began to praise God. It seemed so real. There was a longing and an ache in my stomach. I miss her terribly. I still can't believe she's gone. But I know one sweet day I'll be reunited with her along with our Lord and Savior. Right now, I am trying to build my relationship with God. I have lost my zeal and fervency for the Lord. I guess it's because of all the stuff I am going through. I am frustrated and depressed. All I can seem to do is sleep and drink cups of Mt. Dew. If you feel led please say a prayer for me. Through it all God is good and His mercy endures forever.

psalm100 -> Memorial Day (5/23/2008 6:21:59 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! Just thought I would check in with you guys. I have no plans for this Memorial Day weekend. In fact I will be working both of my jobs this weekend. Thankfully, I will have Monday off. I plan to get some rest and do some much needed house cleaning. I am trying to keep my mind off of my problems. I know the Lord hasn't forgotten about me. Even at night when I sleep (that's if I can actually get some sleep) different verses of scripture will "pop" into my head. My little niece will be born next month. Her birth is something I can look forward to. God has given me someone else to love and care for inspite of the loss of my grandmother and uncle. Well, that's all for now. I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful weekend. P.S. Let's all pray for these gas prices to go down. This is having a profound effect on people's lives. We as christians must depend upon God to meet everyone of our needs according to His riches in glory. We can't be dismayed about the economy or the state of this world. Pray that people will repent and realize that the Lord is soon to return.

psalm100 -> Quick update..... (5/30/2008 10:20:57 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I just dropped to say a few words. I spoke to my friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer this morning. The chemo has left her feeling nauseous and unable to eat. She sounded so weak over the phone, but she is still trusting God in the midst of this battle with breast cancer. When I heard her voice my heart was very saddened. It was to the point where I didn't even know what to say to her. Please pray that these side effects from the chemo will go away and that the Lord will give her strength and healing in her body. I have been reading and meditating on the Book of Romans chapt. 8 verses 18-25. All of the sufferings that the Body of Christ is going through will soon be over and they are not worthy to be compared to what Christ has in store for us. Even creation is waiting for the day when Christ will return. I don't know about you, but I am eagerly waiting for His return. There is still much work to be done. There are still some parts of the world where the gospel hasn't been preached. So until the time of His return we must keep our focus on Christ and not on what's going on in the world. I say Come Lord Jesus......... Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

psalm100 -> Bundle of joy almost here (6/5/2008 9:37:16 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! The bundle of joy is almost here!!! My sister is scheduled to have her baby girl next week. There's a twinge of excitement in the air. A brand new person to love. That's one positive event I can look forward to. I have been thinking alot about the presidential campaign. I usually am not into politics, but this year I have taken an interest in it. At this point, the only thing I can do right now is pray for whoever the future president is going to be. Of course God already knows. Please be in prayer for this nation/world as we prepare to change leadership in the Whitehouse. That's all for now. May your sleep be sweet tonight!!!!

psalm100 -> The Living Water (6/6/2008 11:16:31 PM)
Pre Lord!!! I am still here only by the grace of God. I was just thinking about all of my trials and struggles. I am so weary and tired right now. I know just what I need: The Living Water. Yes, Jesus Himself to relieve me of the weariness and tiredness or at least help me to cope better in the midst of these trials. I need to experience His presence as never before. A true taste of the Living Water. As Jesus said.....If any man thirst let him come unto me, and drink. He that believth on me as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water( John 7:37-38)aise th

psalm100 -> update (6/19/2008 8:09:02 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! My niece entered the world as we know it on 6/9/08 at 12:20pm. I was one of the first one in my family to see her sixteen minutes after her birth. She weighed 8lbs and 5oz. She is big and healthy!!!! Thank God she is finally here. When I was in the hospital awaiting her birth, I thought about the goodness of the Lord. I began to read Psalm 139:15-16. God knows all of our days. He knows what calamites we are going to face. He knew each one of us before we were formed in our mother's womb. He knows what we are going to become. Our God is awesome!!!! Things are going ok for me. I am taking an online history class. It is very reading and writing intensive. So far I have an A average. I believe I am going to do well. Hopefully and prayerfully I'll be able to take more classes in the fall. Well that's all for now. Have a blessed night and remember if God is for us who can be against us?

psalm100 -> Still alive and well (7/1/2008 5:43:20 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I am still alive and well and JESUS is still ALIVE and WELL!!! I haven't had much time to post lately. This internet class is really tough. It is reading and writing intensive. It consumes alot of my time. Nothing has really changed with me. My church just had their women's day services. It was a real blessing. I came out feeling rejuvenated in the Lord. The Words that come forth really ministered to me. I had no idea what the theme was going to be. But come to find out I had being reading and meditating on scripture pertaining to the theme way before the services ever began. Isn't that just like God!!!! Powerful is all I can say. But anyways I am going to continue on this journey with the Lord. All that want to travel with me are welcome to come!!!!

psalm100 -> Pray for the Wright Family (7/8/2008 10:51:38 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I just wanted to ask you guys to pray for Pastor Wright and his family as well as the other driver involved in a terrible accicent. Pastor Wright has a church in Brooklyn, NY and is also a gospel singer. He wrote a song after hurricane Katrina title Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Anyway.... He his wife and grandchild were involved in a car accicent. His wife and grandson died as a result of their injuries. Pastor Wright is still in the hospital and is expected to recover. Please pray that the Lord gives all involved strength to deal with this terrible tragedy. We must trust God even when we have unanswered questions. It's just one of those situations that we have to depend totally on God. My heart is grieved, but thank God that Pastor Wright's grandson and wife were saved and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Thank you all for your prayers!!!!

psalm100 -> A little update (7/14/2008 8:20:13 PM)
Praise the Lord Saints of God!!! My friend that has breast cancer may have surgery next week. The doctors told her that the tumor has shrunk considerably. The doctors are pleased with her progress. I am thankful, because her situation could be alot worse. I pray that God will be merciful to her and bring her through this situation. She is still praising and worshipping God in spite of her current circumstance. She has encouraged me to walk by faith. I am amazed at what God can do. I had concerns about my job, but God has opened so many doors for me concerning my job. I am most thankful for God being in my life. I can not give up. I must continue to seek God.

psalm100 -> RE: A little update (7/15/2008 8:09:01 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! Hopefully tomorrow I will register for my fall classes. I am excited at the chance to work towards my degree. Every class I take is a step closer to reaching my goal. I will be glad when this dream will become a reality. Once I get my degree I believe my horizons will broaden. You can work in a variety of fields and settings with a social work degree. I have to trust God to continue to strengthen me. I am still working two jobs. Now it is starting to take a toll on me physically. Sometimes I am so exhausted and tired that I can not even sleep at night. And sometimes my body physically feels like it may completely go limp at any moment. I am too hard on myself sometimes. I push myself to the limit. I feel like if I become too idle I will go crazy. I have to keep busy. Of course I still make time to spend with the Lord. I hope the Lord will continue to give me strength.

psalm100 -> Relaxation (7/18/2008 9:23:58 PM)
Praise the Lord!!!! I am so glad today is Friday. Tomorrow morning I get the chance to sleep in for a change. I went out to eat with my sisters today. It felt so good not to go home and look at the four walls. I decided that I am going to try and relax this weekend. I want to soley focus on getting some rest and focus on the Lord. I had a long tough week, but nevertheless the Lord has sustained me. I am already looking forward to my Sunday service. I am always excited as to what I may learn about the Lord when my pastor preaches the Word of God. It seems that each Sunday I always leave with a Word from the Lord and I am more energized and enthusiastic about the Lord. I leave believing maybe things aren't so bad. I can continue on this journey with the Lord. There were so many men and women of God in the Bible who persevered through difficult times. Are we even less than them? Surely God will help us modern day christians to persevere too. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!

psalm100 -> Pray for the Laurie Family (7/25/2008 4:40:02 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! My heart is saddened to find out about Pastor Greg's son's passing. The news was very shocking. I don't know Pastor Greg personally, but I subscribe to his daily devotions. His devotions really inspires me and encourages me to continue on this faithwalk. God really uses Pastor Greg to teach His Word. I pray that the Lord will comfort and console the Laurie family and also their church family. We don't always understand everything, but we must continue to trust the Living God. Also please keep Pastor Timothy Wright in your prayers. He lost his wife and grandson in a terrible wreck on the fourth of July. Through all of our trials I will declare the Lord is still GOOD!!!

psalm100 -> Update (7/31/2008 5:45:04 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I just thought I would drop by and let everybody know I am still alive. I have nothing to report except that the Lord is increasing in me. He is revealing more and more of Himself to me daily. I read His word and I find that the scriptures seem to be coming alive. I imagine the surroundings and scenes as I read His Word. All I can say is God is Awesome. I thank Him for keeping His hands upon my life. I must trust Him through the thick and thin. I was thinking last night of how we must reflect the image of Jesus Christ. The world is watching us. How do we go through our trials? Do we whine and complain? When a love one passes away do we turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain? When the price of food and gas increase do we go into a panic mode? Do we take too much pride in our possessions and achievements? Do we walk around like earth is our home? Do we gossip and spread rumors? The world is watching us. What do they see?

psalm100 -> RE: Update (8/12/2008 6:50:22 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I just wanted you all to know that I am still alive and well. Things are going pretty good. I have a person who is mistreating me for no apparent reason. I still can't figure out why this person treats me like I am nothing. I thought about Jesus and His example. When he was being beaten and spit upon he never said a word. He left His case in the hands of God. What I am to do? I must show love to this person and not speak bad about this person. I must make sure that I don't give this person any reason or ammuntion to mistreat me. I must pray that the love of Jesus will be seen in my lifestyle. I ask the Lord to help me not to walk in my flesh. My flesh wants to retaliate, but I know I must do what the Word of God says. The Lord will take care of this person. Please pray for me. I am still experiencing dreams and visions. Not quite sure what all of this means. I pray for the Lord to reveal the meanings behind these vision and dreams. Lately, the Lord has been giving me words of comfort as I deal with difficult situations. The Lord always looks out for His children. He won't let us go through the storms alone. Well that's all for now. I hope everyone has a great night.

psalm100 -> RE: Update (8/22/2008 3:55:47 PM)
Praise the Lord!!! I am still hanging on by the grace of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. WOW!!! is all I can say. I start my fall classes next week. Things might get a little hectic. I am looking forward to my classes. The more classes I take the closer I get to earning my degree. The Lord will help me get through it. I have been thinking about Heaven alot lately. I often wonder what it's going to be like. I know my human mind will probably never be able to grasp the beauty of Heaven. I have a couple of loved ones I know that will be there. And most of all Jesus is going to be there. No more sorrow, pain, weeping, or evil. It's going to be total bliss with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Well that's all for now. Have a blessed weekend!!!

psalm100 -> Praise the Lord!!! (8/23/2008 11:50:51 AM)
Praise the Lord!!! I woke up this more very thankful to God for another day. When I look back over my life, I know God has His hand upon my life. I have been through alot and I have seen alot of things, but one thing I know God is good!!!! I find myself missing my grandmother and uncle. I know they are with the Lord. They no longer are battling cancer. They both suffered greatly before they made their transition. I'll see them again. That very fact gives me hope and joy. God has promised me I'll see them again. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!!!!
