February 28: Psalm 100

February 28, 2014

I was just kind-of moising through my morning - kept thinking that I don't really need to get ready for work till 9AM - but that doesn't really work if I'm trying to get TO work at 9:30am!
Didn't wake up with Jason this morning and I think it throws me all off when I keep changing my schedule.

Feel all frustrated and rushed and sorry because I had missed yesterday - Kinda took yesterday as a break day and did nothing.
I don't think there's anything wrong with "do-nothing" days - but I'm not positive that yesterday was good for me.

I swear it takes an hour for my brain to wake up and now it's going off in a blur.

So many things...
Jason applying for a new position.
Responding to National asking me to come back AGAIN
Getting ready for work
Food - preparing, shopping, all the things
Time...
Need to take a deep breath and just stop.

Be Still and Know that I am God.



Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, 
   all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
  Come into His presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
   It is he who made us - and we are his!
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, 

   and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!

For the Lord is good;

   his steadfast love endures forever, 
   and his faithfulness to all generations.

Father - this is my prayer today - make it my prayer today. That instead of being penned in by fear and worry that I would range freely in the open space you have provided me as the good Shepherd.

At work help me to remember it is You whom I serve - even as I serve other people -
And may I give you thanks and praise - my heart lifted in joy and thanksgiving - for you are good and You have all of me and my life and all the ones I love in Your hands.

Your love is forever - in all circumstances - steadfast and sure and I can found my entire being upon it.

That is my prayer today Father. Establish me upon Your firm foundation of covenantal love - upon the Rock of Your Son - that I might stand firm and triumphant in thanksgiving and praise in all things. Amen.

Help me today because I am scattered and need collecting and stability. 
(Are you ready for another grand adventure today, Whitney? 
Yes! 
Okay! Let's go.)
