hope for the fact that i was up all night :)

This morning I am thankful for God's word, and for  my husband who works so hard to make sure his family has what they need and always puts God first and the will of God first in our home!  I am thankful for our kids who are growing and are such a blessing to me! I am weary this morning after been up most of the night with my Kaita who has an ear ache.  Today is to be our first get together for our co-op.  We are all excited about it, me more than any one i think just because I have dived in with both feet into homeschooling and this is my first official meeting of some of the other moms who i will be spending this year getting to know and partnering with and I am excited for the social aspects for the kids to meet new friends who are doing the same as we are.  I think having an army of friends around them will be one major step in not making them feel isolated or that homeschooling is something that only they are doing.  Haha I know it will be helpful to me to have an army of friends for my self. :)
Anyways I don't know why but today the passage I want to add to my Psalm 139:16 verse today really doesn't have much to do with my life right now that I know of but it is on my mind and therefore I am going to write it out.  No doubt I will be in a situation soon where this will apply lol so maybe I better start meditating on it now. :)

Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written, 
         The days fashioned for me, 
         When as yet there were none of them. 




Psalm 107: 17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
 18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
 19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
 20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
 21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

My Dad was an evangelist for 2 1/2 years beginning when I was about 9.  There was a sermon he preached see? God must have wanted to me to learn it because I heard it countless times till I memorized it.  It was always my favorites because God gave my dad simple truths from Psalm 107 that should have been obvious but they weren't until he brought them out.  One of his points was that God saves us when we cry out to him even when we are in a predicament that we got ourselves into.  He doesn't just leave us there and say "well i told you not to do that so when u get hurt don't come crying to me"  He picks  us up cleans us off and heals us.  He used this passage as the reference for that point. As I said before, as far as I know i haven't done anything to put myself in a bad place or have chosen not to listen to the words of God, but there is a good chance that in the near future foolish behavior will not allude me :) So for today, because "all the days fashioned for me were written in His book before I was even born and because his plan for me is perfect and because he loves me and will be there even when i mess up and get my self in a mess, I will praise him today for illuminating my path and for creating me, planning for me, and for his goodness and his wonderful works to the Children of Aaron Turner :)  Thanks Dad! I love ya!
