3b His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.
4His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.
5 Plague went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled
and the age-old hills collapsed.
His ways are eternal.
I don't know for who this is but i know that i know that i must bring an psalm under the attention of my readers.....and write my thoughts around it......
I'm pulled away from looking an soccerplay of the world cup to take my bible and read
Psalm 62
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him. 2He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. 3How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence? 4They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
Selah 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7My salvation and my honor depend on God[a] ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah 9 Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath. 10Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them. 11 One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong, 12 and thatyou, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
After reading and struck by some truth's that i witness in daily life ( high lighted it) and experience in my walk with The Lord I said God YES my soul can only find rest in YOU and YOU ALONE! I saw pictures in my spiritual eye of SOLID STRONG ROCKS........and fortresses to keep safe from harm/attacks...... I remembered an holiday as an teen through the Amazone forest........And an climb i never climb before of an rock " The Voltz berg"....an JOURNEY with ALLOT of CHALLENGES and i remember me sweating and fighting to NOT listen or give in to the muscle pain and exhaustion.......
I remember being AFRAID to SLIP........and looking back how far i came already .....but i wanted to reach the TOP.... WHY ?? Because i knew it would boost me up to reached it no matter the challenges.......and an PROMISE was awaiting me.. THE POWERFUL VIEW............The RESTING..........THE EXPERIENCE to reached the HIGHEST POINT ( the feeling of being ON TOP of the world!!) On the Voltzberg, trying out bare feet? On the Voltzberg ( Pictures from an blog about this trip i did)
To sit there on the top of the mountain.......... Intaking the breath taking view...... My body was resting and recovering from the JOURNEY..... A Journey with ALLOT of challenging moments....I came accros beautiful species views and sights but also dangerous species or others i wonder who they are and or if they are dangerous.... Is this not how we JOURNEY trough life........?
He wants to be our ROCK AND SALVATION..... The SOLID ROCK on which we stand!! Like i see myself discovering THIS ROCK....climbing to THE TOP of it........ And when THERE....or when stopping and admiring already some glimsess of the AMAZING view....... MY SOUL.........OUR SOUL.....YOUR SOUL ......IS RESTING!!!
IN GOD.............. Seeing nature ...seeing HIS hand work....... EXPERIENCING..........nature even ourselfse because WE ARE HIS HANDWORK.......amazes us and HE IS saying LET YOUR SOUL FIND REST IN ME ALONE!!
Goodmorning friends A new week in front of us...... Yesterday i look-up some "tropical" gospel worship songs..... It made me jump-up and praise God and like more sun ( SON)-light came in my mind-spirit and around me...
When i look outside my window i see that the sun try to boost the temps up.... Well i want more of SONLIGHT today..... Music is an powerful tool God used to reach me and bring in HIS WORD....
Reggae music is another tropical sound that stirrs me up...... I found an song with lyrics that directs straight to Gods Word and made me reflect and blessed me. Hope it will blesses you also Have an great day surrounded by God's LOVE, GRACE and MERCY!

Psalm 61
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah
5 For you have heard my vows, O God;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king's life,
his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name
and fulfill my vows day after day

God answered her prayer and blessed her with an son....She gave him back to God......
She rejoices in The Lord.... The supreme source of Hannah's joy is not the child, but in the God who had answered her prayer," my horn is lifted high."! To have one's horn lifted up by God is to be delivered from disgrace to an position of honor and strength.
I was looking for an song about this prayer and i found one but still i felt to look more around and found ' an modern Hannah" A new generation of woman with the faith of Hannah....with the openness to be led by God's Spirit.....God loves the heart of an child...When we keep our heart like an child.....
When i listened and look at "Hannah's prayer..." It stirred me up and i could not keep sitting and be silence...I had to agree and say Amen and lift my hands up in worship to the Lord!
Let's pray together with this little girl .......
Thank You once more One Heart. for this opportunity to bring out this meme to gather us to experience the POWER when we worship the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT.In the weekends I always joined the meme's " TSMSS" and "SPIRITUAL SUNDAYS"Both to praise honour and worship the Lord with word and/or with songsI will link-up my "WOW" post also at those meme's to join us all together......! Have an blessed and God filled weekend everyone!
I'm not in "the swing " of blogging yet. I can't find my "old ritme" also in daily life... I'm going trough the day and do what needs to be done and i must say my thoughts are frequently "wandering" to pictures in my mind from the short visit on an other continent than Europe.... Africa to be specific Nigeria in the city of Lagos.....
A city with a lot of noise...... People are surviving.....,struggling....A huge difference between the poor and the wealthy
Hard working woman
Children who have dreams and a lot of smiles and are happy with the smallest things
A country blessed with a lot of natural riches....
A lot of Sunlight and high temps
.I enjoyed the tropical weather ,the beautiful skies...., flowers and delicious fruits..........
You can see i can't keep-up with the days and 'get in the swing" as i said......
But I am so THANKFUL for what God did for me and my family to be able to visit meet my in-laws make new bounds and relationship between us......
My kids can't get over that they met there cousins...nieces and aunts and uncles the 1st time......
We are so thankful for this visit and what we learned most profoundly is TO BE THANKFUL for especially the basic things in life....What we so take for granted everyday.......
*WATER
*ELECTRICITY
* " LAW @ ORDER"
* SAFETY
*STABILITY
* BEING ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL
*CHOICE in different things ....what to eat...,where to sleep.......
My prayers go up for
*THE COUNTRY OF NIGERIA.....to develop....to prosper......to share there wealth wisely and equally....To invest wisely in the citizens and in the country itself......
* For the strong NIGERIAN WOMAN........That they will experience The Living God in there daily life....who will strenghten..sustain and bless them and who is able to turn bad in good and there mourning in rejoicing....Who can heal there wounds and give them HOPE for there tomorrows.....
* For the CHILDREN that God will protect and guide them Keep them safe when they are on there own on the streets of Lagos or at home with there siblings when the parents struggle to earn some money.
It's WEEKEND...Yes indeed
I pray that i will be an blessing at my workplace for the elderly.......That my "hands and feet" are willing to be the hands and feet of The Lord......That not my will and my wants but His will and desires for my Life will prevail.....
I pray for "WOW" Weekends Of Worship that it will be an blessing to everyone who will join.
"...Let all that I am praise the Lord."--Psalm 146:1 NLT

Psalm 100:2
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
PSALM 36
5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights. For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.
Yes Lord i am in awe of your unfailing love
Your righteousness and Your justice.
You keep always the promises you give to us as your children.
You give me the word not to worry that you will take care of us and provide
each and everyday all our needs and more than we ask......
Thank You Lord for doing that each and everyday on our stay with my in-laws in Nigeria and that You will keep on doing it each and every day.
I praise You Lord Jesus for your Power Strenght and Protection and Guidance and all You want to be for me and to all who worship you in spirit and in truth.
You are who You are The beginning and the end " Alpha and Omega'

GODS LIGHT and LOVE was constantly on our minds in the days we where in the "heart of Lagoscity of Nigeria " where my in-laws live. I thank God for all oppurtunities He gave us to share with others about our faith in Jesus Christ and all the prayers we could do with family,friends and even strangers on the streets when we where on the road.....My husband had great oppurtunities to pray and teach about the lord.... I am so thankful!!
Today is FEARLESS FRIDAY
Join in prayer together for and with eachother.Head over to the home of "FF" at Free SpiritHaven and post your prayer requests in the comments or make an blogpost and link-up.
My prayers went up today and where flooded with names and pictures from my Nigerian in-laws and the people i met.....That the seeds we sow about God's Love and Light and about salvation through Jesus Christ will prospour and grow in there hearts and mind... That we left an testimony while we where there as an family and share daily living with them......! Prayer for the country of Nigeria and the leaders who are responsible to lead the country..... hat basic needs will be met for everyone NO MATTER the size of there pockets...... That the Lord will keep on shining HIS LIGHT in every corner...... That Christians will find there way to the people who are in bondage and thinking that that is there destiny...... I want to post an praise today for an in-law ( due to privacy i can't post names) who came out of bondage just before our leaving...........God is so good to show us month's ago this will happen and we did not know this was an mission for our visit to Nigeria... And we can say mission accomplished and prayers will keep on going up and i ask all of you to help me keep on praying for full recovery and staying on-the straight ways of the Lord! So one day God willing i can post the whole testemony story of my in-law...... I think you can tell i am beyond happy and can go on....... This psalm touched me this morning. and also the song what sings about the words in PSALM 36 The last 2 and an half week was this my experience in the heart of Lagos city in Nigeria!!
PSALM 36 1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.
They have no fear of God at all. 2 In their blind conceit,
they cannot see how wicked they really are. 3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.
They refuse to act wisely or do good. 4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.
Their actions are never good.
They make no attempt to turn from evil. 5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. 7 How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings. 8 You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights. 9 For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see. 10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you;
give justice to those with honest hearts. 11 Don’t let the proud trample me
or the wicked push me around. 12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen!
They are thrown down, never to rise again.
In the " hustle and bustle" of last packing and doing errands i remember this special day that bloggers are praying for eachother... if you have prayer requests you can put it in your comments overhere aor at the "Home of Fearless Friday" by pressing on the button or link up with your own "FF blogpost" Leaving you with some Nigerian Gospel music....My mind is already totally going to those 'Nigerian vibes".....

Thank You Lord for everything.........; The GOOD......the BAD...The BIG and THE SMALL BLESSINGS today and everyday!!
What are you Thankful for? You can link-up your post over at our host for the Month of May Laurie from 'Woman Taking A Stand"
YES THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED in exaxctly the last 2 and an half hour and even now in the making of this blog post!
I came home from work after an day of work with the elderly fulfilled but physically "gearing" in over-load Pain from an pinched-nerve and muscles who are hard like an stone..LOL..probably due from stress to arrange everything to travel and coping with the normal stresses of daily life..... I did some quick shoppings....coming to an "empthy "house ( not seeing this yet as an blessing that the kids are not home...). Looking around...and wanting to jump in bed when i think about what needs to be done in the house.... Well coming to this screen is good to take an break ....... Not knowing God would use this "break" to teach me an lesson........
My attention was caught by an email from an "online sister in Christ".....from "My Growing Walk" FEAR and WORRY tried to creep in.....and i shared that with another "online sister in Christ'.... We started to pray and encourage eachother........ I said goodbye and not even conscousely i went to the her blog My spirit started to sing the songs on her playlist....I felt to say thank you and share the effect on me to hear the songs...... Like God was saying to me PRAISE and PRAY and "STAND STRONG" through all you have to go trough......... Right that minute the sister who we where worrying about came online..........That is God to me in daily life...... Giving opportunities to pray and be there for eachother praise Him and get strenghtened by Him the same time..... When i went further to read the blogs in my "google reader" I read sisters Denise from Shorthy Bears Blog and than the "Home " blog from "Fearless Friday" Free Spirit Haven . I said Yes Lord i see how we get eguiped by you .....TO STAND.......By PRAISING and PRAYING together.YOU take our eyes of ourselfse our own trials.......And we still go on and STAND FEARLESSLY and Confidently !!
“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8NLT
I could not resist to share with you and encourage you to not relent to pray for others.....and keep praising God in and through everything!
My prayers today go up for those sisters i mention above for all there needs and to stay strong and standand bring out God's message in there daily Life
Feel free to leave an message that you came over !
QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!!(from " A MESS") I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
