Lonely
Well here I am in Three Hills and completely bored, b/c all my friends are gone! but it was so weird......b/c just as I started to cry b/c Jana and Jackie ran off somewhere and Carm is sooooooooo busy setting up for Junior/Senior banquet. Amy started talking to me on MSN! I can't tell you what a blessing that was to be reminded that even though people are hundreds of miles away, they still care enough to talk and find out how ppl are. I love my friends dearly, and can't tell you how much they've blessed me. I hope they can say the same......It's interesting how much comfort God can give you through people. It's something that I've been learning for a while now, that God's been teaching me. Not only to depend on people but on him also for comfort. Like when I had my accident in November, as soon as the nurses got me cleaned up and I had a shower, I wanted a bible. I wanted to just sit and talk to God and thank him soooooo much for my life. And Psalm 77 gave me the most comfort that night, it just struck a chord. And it's interesting that it wasn't even close to my favourite Psalm, I don't think I'd ever really read it before, and yet there were those words of comfort that helped me through that night.

Psalm 77
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. 1 I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? 8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah 10 And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 11 I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 12 I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds. 13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; Who is so great a God as our God? 14 You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples. 15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah 16 The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled. 17 The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about. 18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known. 20 You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
I love that Psalm now, and it's still comforting.....anyways I'd better go and find something useful to do. Love you all, here's a quote I just found that is awesome!
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.C S LEWIS
