GOD IS A REFUGE IN TROUBLE

"I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before Him; I shewed before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto Thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy name; the righteous shall compass me about; for Thou shalt deal bountifully with me."

CELTIC WOMAN

I attended the Celtic Woman concert at Rupp Arena Friday night November 9, 2007. It was an awesome two hour concert. If I ever have the chance, I'll go again, but for now I'll continue to enjoy the three DVDs that I have of theirs. They are so extremely talented and not bad to look at either!!! Visit their website at www.celticwoman.com

SUICIDE

I have realized since I was just a youth that this is a very evil world. My foremost prayer for years has been that the Lord would let me go to be with Him. I desire to hide "under the shadow of Thy wings." See Psalm 17:8. Sometimes the pressures of this world can overwhelm us and we lose our hope. This can even happen to Christians. I know because I have been there. I have struggled for years in my walk with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. This ought not to be: I've grown up with Him; I've read through the Bible over a dozen times from cover to cover plus countless times for various parts of the Bible; I pray to Him continually; I have a wonderful Christian family and great Christian friends; I have worked in, and now own, a Christian business. Nevertheless, I have considered doing the worst as maybe some of you have, or maybe someone you know. I personally have no desire to visit a "professional in the field", but it may be the right thing for some. In my case, I know that the Lord has helped me work through my struggles and I am still here because that is what He wants for me for now. I have done some research on this topic and have included here some links for you if you are interested. This is just a small list that can get you started. May the Lord watch over you as He does for me. http://www.gotquestions.org/suicide-Bible-Christian.html
