What are you thinking?

Happy Friday! We all have days that we look forward to. One of mine is Friday. (Sometimes I dread it too, but that's a different post.) Why is Friday one of my favorites? Because we don't do school, but Shorty does go to work. So this is my day to get things done-- with minimal distractions.

I've been in a bit of a slump since the year rolled over. I didn't feel like I really got any rest over our Christmas break, and while I LOVE to be busy, I do get to points where I crave down time. Also, my devotions have been a bit dry. So this morning, I slept in a bit. Then I really enjoyed my devotions. And our day went from being "rush rush" to "whatever". So when Shorty came in at lunch I was really happy. =)

As I was pondering this just a few minutes ago, I realized that it has a bit to do with what I've been thinking about. There is a plethora of opportunity to share what you're thinking via social media, and to be honest, a lot of what I think is not worth sharing... But during our visit with my Mommy and Auntie this morning, we spent a good deal of time talking about the Bible and it's trustworthiness. I was also struck during my devotions about the way God orchestrated the Exodus of His people from Egypt in the Old Testament. So I've been thinking about the greatness of my God-- and it makes me happy!

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19
