Psalm of Praise

From homesickness to Psalm 18 to girls night, today has seen it all; and so has God. I didn't expect to cry today watching a woman sign, but it reminded me of a dear friend from back home. I thank God for telephones. I thank God for the relationships I built there and for the ones I'm building here that are helping me through this transition. I thank God for his word, particularly the Psalms. I thank God for being my comforter and refuge, my strength in times of sorrow. I thank God for power to turn any kind of day into a joyful one. I thank God for Himself. Ps 13: How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will youv hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for her has been good to me. Ps 18:6: In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, /nto his ears.
