Psalm 90

Today was a good day.  I woke up bright and early.  I wanted to start the new week fresh, so I cleaned and scrubbed up the apartment and organized.  I made a noble attempt to be an energetic lady, and my priority was getting to church. 

Thank God for kind souls that offer rides when bus strikes and hot days continue.  I'm thankful for Roland and Linda.  They are tough warrior saints that have been through the fire, but they are at ease and comfortable extending a helping hand (ride) to me.  I'm grateful!

Pastor Jim spoke on the eternal character of God in Psalm 90.  I think the title of his sermon was something like the storm inside your soul.  Needless to say, the sermon spoke straight to my broken and weak heart, and I thanked the Lord for reminding me of the safe haven He has always been and always will be to me. 
Life is brutal, it beats me up, and many days I realize I can be downright stupid.  Psalm 90 sums up three wonderful prayers I love and need:

Life is short- teach me, Lord.
Life is hard- satisfy me, Lord.
Life is futile- establish me, Lord.

My heart is sad by the weight of disillusionment and disappointment, but I'm clinging to these prayers as I remember that time is within eternity and there is a bigger story at work in my life and in the world.
