My Own Book of Psalms?

I believe the Bible is God's word spoken through men. I'm in no way comparing myself to any of those dudes in the Bible...That's my disclaimer and I'm sticking to it...

me: it was just unexpected. just like all the other pure shinolah i've been blindsided with lately
God remains faithful
its just surprising the crap he's trying
Ann: it's intensified for sure
i'm proud of you
me: thanks, but i don't think you should be
Ann: why?
you're proclaiming God's faithfulness, even during a very scary season - that takes guts and it tales faith
me: and gets me slammed even harder
Ann: of course it does
me: not complaining, cuz it means i'm doing something right
Ann: exactly
me: but dang
Ann: i feel you
me: i'm now trying to shrug off self-pity and self-righteousness
i choose my steps and words hopefully wisely
Ann: i think you are doing great, from what i've seen
me: :) thanks Ann
Ann: np, love
just remember that we are meant to fight alongside one another , so when you get tired or start believing the lies, please ask for help
me: I do. its just usually Him i'm talking to
Ann: yep, but the Body is His idea... we are meant to fight one another's battles - although i will admit that some battles we have to fight by ourselves
i don't know which one this is in your case, just know that i am here and praying and would be honored to fight alongside you
me: wow. thanks!
Ann: ? for ?
me: for adding honor to my fight
Ann: no problem
although He gave it to you...
me: that fighting spirit? yep
Ann: that too, although i was talking about the honor
me: enough about me. are you blogging more about your trip?
Ann: yeah, i just posted one.
it's been harder than i thought to write about
me: i know the feeling.
i have to pick and choose and separate
the bajillion threads of life going on
then tell the story
of how God is working in it
He's working in all of them
Ann: it's hard, huh?
me: its just which ones I want to shout to the rooftops and which ones I cherish between me and Him
i pretty much use my blog as a tract. a really long, fallible tract
Ann: me too. it's nice to go back and read it, to put the dots together and see His faithfulness over time
me: i need to get some of it published. there's a program where it puts everything into a book format
Ann: that would be awesome
me: better than copying and pasting
Ann: i thought you found one a while back
me: i did but i keep writing
i need to stop
and never blog again
but my story keeps on going,
God keeps wowing me
and my fingers want to tell of
His love and care
for me
more so than my mouth

Ann: and that's ok - we are writers - He made us that way
i hope you never stop blogging
me: o goodness
Ann: ?
me: what a long book that would be
maybe my blog is my own Psalms
isn't that a thought?
Ann: that's an awesome thought
me: ha. yeah
Ann: sounds like a post to me
me: right?
Ann: absolutely
me: i'll probably cut and paste from some of this conversation
Ann: that's cool
