Praise the Lord! I am just so thankful for the blessings that flow from the Lord and one of them is joy! I have to smile because I just love my assignments in the Lord…I love my calling and I love life. Sure I have days just like everyone else – husband working my last nerve, job is being a pain, son is not listening and people just wearing me out – BUT GOD!!  

It is in Jesus that we get our joy…as I was driving to work this morning…lately I have been riding in silence or singing songs that come to my mind to sing…I love doing that as it is my time with the Lord, but this morning I felt inclined to turn on the CD in my car…I was tired of hearing my sorry singing…LOL Praise the Lord – the CD I really like was in there…Youthful Praise! Yet it was the words of the first song that got me…. 

Lord I'm amazed at everything you've done for me
For every battle You have given victory
All I have needed You've provided for me
Who am I that You have so much love for me 

Okay even now as I think of those words – my spirit shouts unto the Lord. We are blessed – more than we even really know – yet we can not give the praise – HOGWASH! Jesus has done so much for us – He has kept us when we thought we were keeping ourselves – He is keeping us right now! When we were in sin running around thinking we were all that – the Lord was right there protecting us and we did not even acknowledge him with a thanks or a prayer. He was right there even when we sent up vain prayers – He was there even when we were doing things WE KNOW was wrong and yet He still loves us…not tell me that He is not awesome!!  

It is something about my walk with the Lord….God knows who to give what too…I can not stop praising the Lord even when I am angry or sad – I can not stop praising Him. It is in Jesus that we live – it is to Him that we owe ALL THINGS! We are so quick to look within us for strength – we better start looking to the Lord for our strength…it is in Him that we look for ALL THINGS! It is in Jesus – no where else.  

My life was a mess from the day that I was born – born to parents who had no idea what the heck they were doing…born into a life of pain and misery – BUT GOD…He saved me – He has kept me from the second I was conceived in the womb to this very second and He will keep me as long as He sees fit to do! Hallelujah Jesus…I am blessed….I have been through so much in my life – mentally, physically and spiritually – but God has kept me… 

I thank God for the trials that I have been through BEFORE I acknowledged Him in my life and for the ones that I go through after I acknowledged Him in my life. We are a bunch of complainers if we think about it – something is always not right – but God said in Him there is perfect peace, there is joy, there is love. God said that in Him everything is right – we are to look to Him in all things! I bless His name for all that He has done for me!  

I have had things done to me that are just beyond belief – I have done things that I never thought I would be able to do or would think of doing – I have been through some stuff that made me cry when I thought about it – but in Jesus there is no more tears – just tears of joy…I have no need to look on the past and be sad for He has taken that away from me – I look forward with joy and happiness in my life – there is nothing in my past for me so I tell the world what He brought me through but I am so much more in Jesus! Hallelujah Jesus… 

My sisters – God is good – He is so good….we have to take the time to focus on Jesus and less focus on us – we have to take the time to praise the Lord for ALL things…I thank God for my life every single part of it but most of all I thank Him for the pain I endured for it reminds me of the pain He endured for me and though I shall never feel the amount of pain that He went through I am thankful that He loved me – Sister Alissa Lynne Brunson – Hammond – Neal – Griffith (all the names I was) to change me into a child of God for the rest of my life…I shall serve the Lord for all eternity because He has been so good to me – He is so awesome!  

God Bless!!!  

By the way – Brunson was my maiden name – wow sounds so long ago – LOL Yet in Jesus – what a healing….Praise His Holy Name – Ain’t no rock going to cry out in my place – I am going to praise Him until the day I die and then I will praise Him for all eternity!!! Hallelujah Jesus – Thank God for saving me! Oh sisters think of the goodness of Jesus and all that He has done for you – I am so thankful to Him for the blessings He has bestowed upon me – I am blessed truly blessed! Hallelujah Jesus for saving ME!! Bless His Holy Name for He is worthy to be praise – praise Him until you close your eyes at night and wake up with a praise for the Lord on your lips – for we are blessed!
