God is Good!

Someone has coined a phrase in the church the last several years. If you belong to just about any evangelical church, you've probably heard it. The pastor, or worship leader, or whoever might have the platform, says, " God is Good!", to which you reply, "All the time!", Pastor, "and all the Time", congregation, "God is Good"! I cannot help but wonder if this originated in the black church, reminding me a little of, "Can I get a witness?!?"

Wherever it may have began, this phrase has been in my heard and mind this week. A song keeps coming to my mind, "Lord, You are Good!" So much has happened this week......when I first tried my hand at blogging, back in the spring, a very dear friend had been given a devastating diagnosis of stage III ovarian cancer. She finished her chemo about 2 weeks ago, and was to receive scan results this week. The appointment was not until yesterday, but her nurse was so excited, she called Monday to delivery the results, Cancer Free!!! Can I get a witness!!!! I knew God could heal her, but in my mind, this would not have happened without Him- God is Good!

Also this week was the miraculous rescue of the Chilean miners. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch much tv the day of the rescue, but I now wish I had recorded the coverage. What an unbelievable event! I had lunch with a friend Wednesday, during the rescue, and as she prayed a blessing for our food, she thanked God for saving these men. CNN was playing in the restaurant, and it was fascinating to watch as they had each miner numbered, so you could keep track of how many had been pulled out of the mine. It was overwhelming, and still is, for me to imagine that those men all survived for over 2 months before being rescued. I heard it from a couple of sources, that one man said he met Jesus and the devil while he was in that hole, but Jesus won! I would imagine that many met Jesus in that hole!

These are just 2 of the miracles that have happened this week, but needless to say, my heart is full. Thank you God, for the many ways you have revealed yourself this week, and the blessings you continue to bestow on my life......

Well, I know myself too well.....as fascinated as I am within the musings of others, I knew this would be a challenge for me. Oh, I can think of many things to write about, (too many really), but I was never really good at keeping a diary as an adolescent, or journaling as it became popular in my adult life. I have good intentions, but you know what they say about good intentions. As I caught up on one of my fav blogs tonight, and realized that I had not written in 6 months! So, I will try again, and if I slip back into my old habits, see ya in 6 months!
