~ Crazy Praisin' ~

As I sat at the doctor's office this week, knowing that as the woman left, her silence was speaking volumes, I had such a beautiful experience ~ I can only try to put it into words as a prayer that we all can daily put such extreme faith and trust in Him.

When the test was over and she was 'going to show the doctor', I knew there was something suspicious. And, while for truly only one brief second I panicked and had tears, I just started praisin' Him right there in the office. Talkin' and prayin' out loud in such a way, that, had the nurse heard me, there would be a different kind of doctor coming.... with a white coat in hand :)

Lord, I love you. You are my rock, my fortress, my shield, my strength. You have never ever failed me. You have never left me. You are peace. You are power. You are the I am, the first and the last. The conqueror. I love you and, I put my complete trust in You. I follow you, and, you will lead. Together we will face today, tomorrow, and, one day, eternity. I praise you for all you have been and will be. You are my Father, my King, and my Savior. I face this with you holding me, and, loving me with your amazing grace. Jesus, You are so beautiful. I praise you, I trust you, I follow you, and, I love you!

In that precious moment, my fears turned to praise, and, my "oh-oh" tears turned to "I love you so much Lord" tears. His Spirit just filled the room with such peace and rest, that, even as I type this, it all sounds corny......

In fact, I have struggled with if I should share it, and, how ~ but, it is a lesson to me in how He will carry us if we simply crawl up on His lap and let Him. In a moment where the "Tina" in me was panicking, the bigger "Jesus" in me just took over and covered me.

Face today, tomorrow, and forever believing He will carry you. His eyes are so understanding, His hands are so beautiful and His arms are so powerful, He only asks that we love and trust Him along every step of the path.
