I am so, so, so happy that Jesus is my rock. Without him I don't know where I would be, and I do not like to think about it. A long time ago someone pointed out to me that Jesus was supposed to be my identity, and while they had no clue, that changed my life. Living life with someone else as my stability is so much nicer, and easier.
The thing I love about God and all the rules he has set down for us, is that they are always for our own good. Everything ends up making us happier or better, or just something positive. He never asks us to do something that isn't for the better. Many times we warp the outcome of circumstances, and they don't end up better, but that's our fault.
I love hymns. I was emotionally flustered earlier today after finding out that things at home had gone bad. Last year things were really bad, my parents almost got a divorce, I hated living at home, everything was frustrating. Well, one of the things that made it so bad has come up again. Just recently my parents were talking about how much better things were. I'm having a bit of a hard time just letting go of wondering why God would let this happen again, and now. I do trust him, though. Especially because I've been through this before. Back to my original train of thought, though, hymns are so amazing. I can sit down and play the piano and be so encouraged, or turn my iPod on, and memories of God's love and faithfulness flood back to my mind.

Ps. 91:2
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Exodus 15:2
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Psalms 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Psalm 7323Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
