Wait For The Lord And Be Of Good Courage

So time drags on.......I'm waiting for my parents to get back in.....my grandmother's here right now, and most of my brothers...and it's not like I've never spent a night alone before....but I'm ready to see them again. I'll probably get off soon, and go read in my room as long as I'm able to hold up....This is a hard evening....

All these verses keep crowding into my head, a very good thing, and I'm so thankful that the Lord is bringing them to my remembrance. Also this one song, "I Will Lift My Eyes" by Bebo Norman. The Lord has really used that to help me lean on Him.
The verses I'm thinking of right now are Psalm 27- "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread? When evildoers come upon me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O Lord, I shall seek."......Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a level path because of my foes......I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."
That about sums it up.....
