My country's better than your country, my country's better than yours..... so we sing our songs of nationalism.
There have been great nations before us. The British Empire. The Hapsburg Empire. Imperial Japan. The Ming dynasty. The Cherokee Nation. Aztecs. Mayans. The Ottoman Empire. The Roman Empire. Sparta. Egypt. On and on the list could go.
There is a list of nations in trouble today. Greece. Ireland. Portugal. Iceland. Others as well. Maybe we are on that list- I am not sure, but I do know that God always points us towards himself.
Psalm 99
1 The LORD reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.
When we focus on the problems of the world, we are filled with worry. When we focus on our Father, we can learn to trust again. I am going to say that again- When we focus on the problems of the world, we are filled with worry. When we focus on our Father, we can learn to trust again.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I've been working so hard on this for some time now. Knowing it and living it, it's hard. I DO KNOW IT, I do. I know that I wouldn't still be here without him. Things have been so hard and I know that he's still carrying me through the days. I know that he'll get me through. Tidbits of good come poking out. Then you look to the coming days, weeks....and wonder how you have failed so BIG and how you will get through them. I KNOW he'll be carrying me for some time to come and I can trust in that. But it's still hard to look at tomorrow and wonder how I will provide for my daughter. Change....I also have to learn to adjust better to change. Status quo is so safe even when it's hard. I know that good will and has come of all the hard years. I know it's taken me a long time to learn and I'm still learning to trust completely and freely. But the sun is shining and I've been given another day and I have hope that I will be able to learn and accept more.
