In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

Yeah, I know...

It's not Music Monday! But today I'm breaking all my rules! Because I can...and because it's a beautiful, breezy, cool (Thank you Lord!) day and I just feel like singing! So I'm gonna! I hope you'll join me!

Was that enough exclamation points for you? (!)

How Can I Keep From Singing ~ Chris Tomlin

(Remember to scroll down and pause my player before playing this video!)

"I know I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing!!!!" YEAH!

Interesting devotional time this morning...perhaps I'll share that tomorrow. But right now, I just want to take delight in this day, give thanks for my many, many blessings...and SING!

"Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises." James 5:13

Despite all the troubles that we may experience here in this life it is good to know that we are loved by the King and He is our hope and our everything. And just knowing that makes me want to sing.

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
