I am changed

For the past few weeks, the Lord has been giving me such refreshing times with Him, and I have been leaving my quiet times clinging to scripture and asking the Lord to give me a content heart that is satisfied by Him alone.  AND HE HAS DONE JUST THAT!!  He has been so faithful in providing for me here in Atlanta, confirming His calling for me concerning my job, my friends, and this community in Buckhead.  Psalm 103 says, 

"Praise the Lord... who redeems my life from the pit (where I was a few weeks ago) and crowns me with love and compassion who satisfies my desires with good things."

He has been so faithful in my life, and my heart cannot help but to sing His praise for the provision and community He has given me here.  My job has been really fun lately, and I am getting to know so many more amazing kids.  He has also blessed me with WONDERFUL families (The Hamiltons especially) surrounding me who have taken care of me and have served me beyond what I could ever ask for, and He has given me a godly group of friends who have walked along side me.  I am truly blessed, but I am especially praising the Lord today for the contentment my heart feels because I know it is truly a gift from Him alone.  My prayer has been answered... I have a changed heart!  "I will sing of His LOVE in the morning and His FAITHFULNESS at night!"
