Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. — Isaiah 48:17 

God tells us he is our Redeemer.

The Holy One of Israel.

His is the Lord our God.

He teaches us what is best for us.

The Lord directs us in the ways we should go.

This Sunday we had a wonderful preacher, Andrea.

She reminded us to show gratitude each day to God.

He alone is deserving of our praise.

His Son Is With Me

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. — Psalm 42:8

God directs His love toward us all the time.

By day, we feel Him in the warmth of the sun.

And in the cool, wet air of a rain shower.

By night, His song is with us.

Music gives us an opportunity to pray twice — once through the words and once again through the music.

A prayer to the God of my life.

Amen.

This Is What the Lord Says

Today is our daughter's 25th birthday!

It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since we had her just down the street at Kaiser.

She now has her masters degree and enjoys her job as an enrollment counselor.

Her college friend will be here in a couple of weeks to visit from Spokane.

And we're headed out to dinner at a French restaurant in Coronado to celebrate.

Her coworkers brought festive red velvet cupcakes for her at work this week.

And Kirk and I picked up this cute chocolate mousse cake at Flour Power.

Our friends brought us yellowtail tuna that he caught a few weeks ago.

God directs us in the way we should go and teaches us what is best for us.

We are blessed!

His Song Is With Me

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me — a prayer to the God of my life. — Psalm 42:8


Today we worshiped God and sang His praises.

Our guest pastor was from Egypt and gave a wonderful sermon about relying on God and trusting Jesus.

He explained the stories of the man possessed by legions, the woman who was sick for 12 years and was healed after touching Jesus' robe and Jairus' daughter who died after 12 years and was brought to life again.

Pastor Isaac William was an inspiration to help us understand that we too, should reach out to the isolated and hurting people around us just as Jesus did.

Our director of Ladle Fellowship also spoke about how Ladle has served the downtown community for 40 years now.

Last week a man appeared at our church who had received a cup of coffee from that new ministry back in 1983.

He had returned to thank us and bring us a can of coffee.

God is at work - He directs His love by day.

And at night His song is with me.

A prayer to the God of my life.

God Directs Me

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." — Isaiah 48:17

Today I had my third radiation treatment at UCSD Moores Cancer Center.

Just 18 more days to go.

God directs me in the way I should go.

I don't always go the way He directs, but when I do, I realize that God knows what is best for me.

Just as he cares for our flowers, with Kirk's help, God cares for us.

He loves us and teaches us what is best.

His Song Is With Me

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. — Psalm 42:8

Today I have another Herceptin IV, but no more chemo.

Last time this IV only took an hour total, so I got to work by 10:00.

We'll see if that happens again today.

I got a new note from my radiation doctor to allow me to work part-time, if necessary, through November 7 (my birthday)!

I have been working full time since the week after my surgery, so I don't think I'll need to move to part-time, but I'm taking each week one at a time.

A week from today I'll have my first radiation appointment.

I don't think they actually start the treatment until the day after, but I'll find out.

God directs his love to me. At night his song is with me.

My life is a prayer to my God, the God of my life.
