My soul- Psalm 103

Psalm 103

¹ Praise the LORD, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
² Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
³ who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
¹⁵ The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Praise the LORD, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
²¹ Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
²² Praise the LORD, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the LORD, my soul.

Radiant Dreams! Week 7

Week 7 on 1/4/11

Tuesday.

What an emotional day for me. too many things going through my mind. Trying to not freak out on finding one of my best friends CD's. My medical insurance not going through and when I woke up this morning, I felt I never even went to sleep. But after all of this... It's all worth it. My little Meatball is so worth everything, me being tired and all. How much did I dream of you. The amount of prayer your Daddy has been praying for you. Aunties and Uncles, families and friends, people we don't even know or met have been praying for you. You are so worth everything great and good. I am so thankful that God has given you to us. I cant wait to meet you... but come out when you are fully complete. I took a half day today for you, for rest. I truly love you and cant wait to meet you. My little Meatball... we love you so.

Happy Birthday Peter!

To my Peter,

You are such an amazing man. Full of life, hope, dreams, love and many more.

You are so strong and wise and have a huge heart.

I respect you, love you and I am so very thankful that you are my husband.

I am very proud of you and all that you are in Christ. The sacrifices you make for our family.

You are the most amazing husband in the whole universe. And when it is God's timing... you will be an amazing father.

You are a strong leader, my best friend, my lover... my first... my last... my everything (lol).

Thank you!

Happy Birthday my heart.
I love you Peter!

Breath of life: Dream

The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE, and the man became a living being. Gen 2:7 (NIV)

Show HIM that you are willing to dream. Give it to Him. To not be afraid of dreaming and let God breath life in your dreams. Trust in him and he will show you all your dreams. Even if you feel that your dreams are from the dust, give your dreams to Him and trust in Him.

This Friday and Saturday (Nov 12th and 13th, 2010) is the Radiant Women conference, ignite your dream! It's not to late http://on.fb.me/bYXfh9

Patience….

Patience...

I have to keep reminding myself that. I get so excited about the next season, I really need to stop and enjoy the season that I am in. God is good in every season.

(ASL, motherhood, stronger marriage, people knowing Jesus, no temper, battlefields of the mind, complete joy and happiness, no temptations, to name a few that I want more of and less of).

I know I'm not the only one who is in this season. But I am thankful to be actively seeking patience for things.

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; Romans 5:3 (New American Standard Bible)

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:25 (NIV 2010)

I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1 (Amplified Bible)

But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV).

Psalm 32

¹ Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.

² Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

³ When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.

⁴ For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD "—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah

⁶ Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.

⁷ You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah

⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

⁹ Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

¹⁰ Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

¹¹ Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Selah- Pause and reflect, meditate, chew on.

Sick

Life is not fun when your sick. Especially in the summer time.
This reminds me of my basketball days in high school.

I loved basketball so much back in High School. This one time I remember I was playing a game, but I was as sick as a dog. My coach, Coach Robinson took me out of the game (realizing that I was sick) and sat me down. He said "Sheeba, we need you to play your all in the finals. I am taking you out because you need to rest now". I was soooo stubborn. I told him that "I was fine, it's nothing" and at that moment I sneezed and yes, ladies and gentlemen stuff came out of my nose. I then realized that, I need to get rest.

Sometimes you think you are fine, until stuff comes out.
