My soul waits patiently for the Lord.
For none that wait on the Lord will be ashamed. The Lord will renew their strength.
As I wait on the Lord, I will hope, I will trust him, I will anticipate his blessing, and I will rest in him.
Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Is it not wonderous? ( adapted from Psalm 29, Psalm 130, and Isaiah 40.)
Write about your first computer.
Sounds like my first toy or book.
It was a desktop IBM, and it was great. It was fast, and I spent hours on it writing and doing research. That was a while back.
I would boot it up, listen to it, turn on, and away I went. I miss that old thing. Sometimes, old things are still good and reliable things.
The Lord is great.
The Lord is the king of glory the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He will fight for you. The Lord who owns this earth and all that is in the earth, the fulness, riches, the plenty of this earth is His . This same God says to ask him anything and prove him and see if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. It will be a blessing juat for you. If only you will believe Him, you will receive whatever you ask. (adapted from Psalm 24, Malachi 3 verse 16 and Matthew 21 verse 22)
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
Being high above the ground never thrilled me. I don’t like heights. I don’t like flying. What goes up must come down, I always think. However, it is how we come down.
Being on an airplane makes me nauseous. Every flight I have taken, I have experienced turbulence and am really bad at that. Dipping and pitching is not my idea of an easy ride. But if I must fly, I will take a plane ride. Just give me something to relax first. And of course, pray a lot.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I shall lack nothing or have any desire that will not be met because the Lord is in control. He will grant me the desires of my heart if I delight in him.
Like a shepherd, he will guide me and protect me. He will take care of me all the days of my life.
God is good. And he knows those of us who trust in him. (adapted from Psalm 23 verse 1 and Isaiah 40 verse 11)
What do you complain about the most?
I know life isn’t perfect. We all complain, whereas some more than others. It is okay to complain because we all need to vent once in a while. It is good to listen to others, helping them to deal with concerns while moving along a conversation, and it is good to sympathize. But there are some who always complain about everything and anything. Those are the people we all desperately seek to avoid.
It is okay to complain but not all the time and then complain about others complaining about complaining.
There are so many grievouses in this world today.
I have a complaint.
God is great and worthy to be praised.
The Lord is great from everlasting to everlasting. Praise his name from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. All day long, I will sing his praises.
They shall come and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this. One generation passes away, and another comes. (adapted from Psalm 22 verse 31)
What are your favorite sports to watch and play?
I like them both to watch and to play. One thing is for sure, I am not good at either sport. No, no, and no again.
I like how fast they are. I like to see the energy of the athletes. You can almost feel it.
One more sport I like is, but it may not be a sport, but because the participants are amazing and display a great deal of energy, it is ballet.
Watching the grace, the leaps, the moving on Pointe, and so much more, I cannot deny this could be considered a sport.
With praise and Thanksgiving, we go beyond just bringing requests and our petitions to the throne of grace. With boldness, we can ask God in the name of his only son, Jesus Christ, anything. That is our freedom, our boldness. Remembering God and who He is. We also praise Him.
Thine O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O, Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. ( 1 Chronicles 29 verse 11)
What would you do if you won the lottery?
If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is give the Lord thanks, then ask Him for guidance on how to use the winnings.
For sure, I would give to the Lord’s work, pay all household and personal debt, give to my siblings and their families, and give to charity. Then, I will invest and save the rest.
But this is if the winnings of the lottery are money.
The winnings could be like that in Shirley Jackson’s short story called The Lottery. If that’s the case, I think I will pass. Thank you very much.
