Saturday, July 30th

Hey all, another day in paradise for sure. I am posting this late, but to let you all know, I have had my quiet times, I just haven't been posting them. Saturday, I had a busy day and ended up at a sleep study tht night. The thing went well, but I slept absolutely horrible. I was awakened at 6am Sunday morning, but I was so exhausted that I just went back home and slept some more, or as I call it, productive sleep. I find it difficult to sleep with probes and all sorts of things attached to myself. I ended up waking up 3 or 4 times over that night, and didn't have any steem for the upcoming day. Anyway, I don't mean to harp. Onto my quiet time that I had that night.

I read out of Cry of the Soul, yet again. It really hit me how Psalms is a book that God put into the bible, so that when we suffer, loss of a child, loss of a job, loss of a loved one (friend or family), we have something truly awesome to fall back on. I was in the hospital room, thinking that I would be in for a long night. I had done sleep studies before and knew that I would have a rough night of sleep. (I wasn't wrong - self fulfilling prophecy?) I was awakened the next morning and was out right exhausted. I have been a lot harder situations, though. Surgery I had in August 2004 was a bit hard to face. I wasn't so much worried up until I was told that I have a heart condition. Then I started to wonder about a lot of things in the short time ahead of me. There's a Psalm for that. Loss of a loved one? There's a Psalm for that. Feeling deserted by friends or loved ones? There's a Psalm for that. Hardship? There's a Psalm for that. God put the Psalms in there to help us not feel alone. I am greatful for that.
