God beyond all praising

O God beyond all praising,

we worship you today

and sing the love amazing

that songs cannot repay;

for we can only wonder

at every gift you send,

at blessings without number

and mercies without end:

we lift our hearts before you

and wait upon your word,

we honor and adore you,

our great and mighty Lord.

Then hear, O gracious Savior,

accept the love we bring,

that we who know your favor

may serve you as our king;

and whether our tomorrows

be filled with good or ill,

we'll triumph through our sorrows

and rise to bless you still:

to marvel at your beauty

and glory in your ways,

and make a joyful duty

our sacrifice of praise.

Believing...

And right now in the good times and bad 

You are on Your throne and You're God alone.

and Big Bro called ....

I know. Emo.
When I hanged up, all I could think of was THANK YOU GOD! (#136)

Yeap, I want to continue my list of thankfuls as slow going as it is.
As hard as the year has started, I've kinda summarized it down to this.

It's the hour between 10am - 11am that hits me the hardest.

When my focus should be on the pulpit and not on what's not going on beside me.

Maybe I should start doodling or something at that time. Or actually focus in front.
Other than that, I cleaned up my past blog posts because I was starting to get Big Bro and big bro confused in my postings.

Big Bro sent this....

We should always walk in faith and hope;

the Lord is master of time and seasons, he will lead us.

No matter how we feel at the moment,

let us place 2012 in the hands of the Lord and trust that he will walk with us.

Happy New Year 2012.

I totally totally heart this!!!!
