Day 12: Giving Thanks

Today I finished an online class that I've been working on for a little over a year. It was certainly a load off my shoulders. I had to teach myself so much, and write essays like they were going out of style. It was sooooo much work. And today's exam was one of the most intense ones I've ever taken. But it's done. THANK YOU GOD!!!

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
~Psalm 100 (KJV)

I do my best to do this every day, but today I definitely am making a joyful noise. God helped me through this class and kept me calm during the exam. Without Him, I'm pretty sure I would have had a meltdown. He has the amazing ability of guiding us through the most difficult and stressful of tasks. While my exam was nothing compared to what some people go through, it was a big deal for me, and I thank God that it's over. Whatever happens happens. I trust whatever God has planned for me.

Thank You, Lord, for this day. Thank You for getting me through this. It is such a relief knowing that I've accomplished one more thing. Lord, I ask that You please continue to guide me and help me to accomplish the tasks You set out for me. I know that with You, I cannot fail; and even if I feel like I have, I know that You have something better in store for me. Please watch over my family, friends, and pets... keep them safe, strong, happy, and healthy. Please watch over our troops and bring them home safe. I hope that all of Your children praise You today and every day, because You deserve infinite praise. Lord, I love You now and always will. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Love and God Bless,
