The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Psalm 23 - Everything We Need

The Lord is my Shepherd ----- that's a Relationship!
 
I shall not want ----- that's Supply!
 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ---- that's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters ----- that's Refreshment!
 
He restoreth my soul ----- that's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness -- that's Guidance
 
For His name sake ----- that's Purpose!
 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death -- that's Testing!
 
I will fear no evil ----- that's Protection!
 
For Thou art with me ----- that's Faithfulness!
 
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me ----- that's Discipline!
 
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies------ that's Hope!
 
Thou annointest my head with oil ----- that's Consecraton!
 
My cup runneth over ----- that's Abundance!
 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life ---- that's Blessing!
 
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord ----- that's Security!
 
Forever ----- that's Eternity!
