Exalted...

 Exalted....

I have to be truthful, I really wanted to write a complaint about my pain, where I am today(Las Vegas), the heat, the crowds, “I want to get home” mantra....I even had a blog written out about all of this, but, alas it won’t get shared....as I was reading, this was so much more ....not my complaints....not only that, the song, “ be exalted, oh 

God” kept running through my head to cover my complaints...

David brought his complaints, his thoughts, his distresses to God, laid them out before Him...and ended up in praise...

I am not saying that saying that we shouldn’t bring everything to Him...lay them down before him, off-load those burdens...He asks us to... but, I personally need to stop dwelling in the negative today...look up and let Him work...thank YOU...

Writing this don’t take the pain away, nor cool the day, change Las Vegas...but it changed my focus...
