My Psalms 66:16 Scrap Book

Ever since I was diagnosed with cancer- the outpouring of love from my friends and family have been so wonderful. It has truly been something that has helped me face this difficult journey - with more courage and happiness.

God has brought some wonderful people into my life, above what I ever even would have imagined. And I am so grateful. All of the acts of kindness - are just "I love you's" from God.

There have been blessings- like the good deals I found on the clothes that I told you guys about this week. I also found a brand new purse made out of jean fabric for only $3.00- I absolutely LOVE it!!

 

It is a little darker than the photo shows it. It's a dark blue jean fabric purse.

 

There are times along this journey that I get discouraged or sad and I wanted to have something tangible that I could look at to remind myself of all of the blessings that I have received. And that is when I thought of making a scrap book.

 

I asked my good friend Susan- for some verses about What God has done for us in the past - and she shared a lot of great verses - but one of them was so uniquely special that I just had to name my scrap book Psalms 66:16.

 

"Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul."

 

Isn't that just beautiful?!

 

Well I already had this 11X14 scrap book - so this is what I am using.

 Do you remember these stickers? I found them probabaly a year ago or so and knew I loved them but just had no idea what I was going to do with them. Well they are being used in my scrap book.

Friends have shared songs with me that have made them think of me. For example - the song - "Overcomer" by Mandisa - so I copied the lyrics and placed them in my scrap book.

 

A song that has really blessed my soul has been Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons" song - and so I am memorized the chorus and when I become discouraged - I am trying instead to sing this chorus out loud. That way I change my focus from the problem to the solution.

 

 

So there you have it - I want something that I can go back and be reminded of how God has been leading me and how He is always encouraging me - and in all sorts of ways. One of these days I might take a photo of a page or two and show you. I already have 6-7 pages about done. There are 2-3 of those pages that are not quite finished.

God is Good All the Time - Sometimes We just need to be reminded.

 

May God bless each of you in a special way and may you see God's handiwork in your life.
