I am no Psalmist, but today I wanted to do something different as my reading in the Psalms is coming to a close. Captured by the pattern of writing in Psalm 136, I have written my heart's Psalm. May it give praise alone to my Lord.

Joy, great words! I wanted to let you know I appreciate your encouragement and insight on Lysa's blog the past few days. I think I recall your words last year as you prepared to fly, alone was it? Anyway I have fears as I will be doing the same thing, but I trust and know God is leading me and He will bless obedience. Anyway thanks for always taking the time to share - it means a lot. Blessings to you, Jill
Today LORD I praise you for blessing me with Joy and her special talent you've given her to write! She's a true gem! She encourages and lifts my Spirit. She warms my heart with her loving words. Her ability to see her life through The Word encourages me to dig deeper into scripture.
Thank you, Joy for blessing me with your post! Love you,
