FFF My oldest princess











O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

You hem me in—behind and before;

you have laid your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.

When I awake, I am still with you. AMEN

This is my favorite verse of the week. I have really struggled with fear after the incident with Taylor and this verse gives me comfort. We are not in control. God is . And praise him for that !!!

Katie,

I am sorry about Taylor's incident. I am glad he is doing okay. The verse you chosen is so appropriate and reminds us all that God is certainly the one in control. All of your kids are so precious. I love what you've done with her hair in these pics! Blessings to you and a big cyber hug, too!!!

P.S. - I soooo wish I could go to Guatoberfest but I can't this year. There is always next year, right? :)

That is one gorgeous girl!

Fear is a powerful thing that the devil uses against us. Praise God that he reminds us that he is in control and we have scripture to turn too.


Have a great weekend.
