Psalm 144:1-2

"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me."

To say this spoke to me this morning would be an understatement! Bit by bit here is my thoughts as I read:

Praise be to the Lord my Rock: I need something strong to hold onto right now in my life
Who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle: I feel like I've been at "war" with my girls, or that they have been at "war" with eachother therefore I have to be in the middle of it.
...in whom I take refuge: I need to "hide in the cleft of the rock" this morning for sure and just sit there
who subdues peoples under me: As I read this, I'm sure David wasn't referring to my children who are "under me" (my authority) but I had to read it this way this morning. I needed them to be subdued! They actually have not been, but I have gone back to this verse a few times this morning, thinking that the Lord is my Rock!

I'm so excited about MOPS starting! It is so neat to be part of a group where we "get" eachother and all that is going on in eachother's lives!

We have ordered t-shirts! They are going to be super cute! They will be $10 (I think!), so bring your money to get one at our first meeting!

PRAISE THE LORD we have Mopett workers! We don't have "extras" if someone can't come to work, but we are not struggling to find people this year! What a blessing! I'm so thankful God has once again provided these precious volunteers for us!

I look forward to seeing all of you again! Bring a friend! We love to have new people join us!
