Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:13

Heat 1, Me 0

When it is over 80 it is hot enough for me to feel bad.  When it is over 90 I am unable to leave air conditioning for more than a few minutes.  When it is 100 I have to stay inside and quiet or I physically get sick.  I've barely left the house since this heat started 2 weeks ago (I think).  Yesterday was 105 and I walked in and out of 3 places plus to and from the car at home.  I do not feel good.  I'm so tired, I'm lethargic, I've slept tons, even my muscles hurt a bit.

It's supposed to cool down a bit this week.  I hope it's enough to give me some time out of the house.  It's really hard to be stuck inside so long, but days like today remind me why I have to be so careful.  I can't even describe the weird feeling this "sick" (for lack of a better word) is but it is icky.  I suppose it is heat exhaustion, lithium style, but I think it can be done any time now.

I am a prisoner in my home.

Hey sweetie, this song is a very beneficial "ear worm," that is, something that circles in your (MY!) head, heart and spirit! It's probably good for the body, too! :) It has simply lyrics and a gentle melody that I think would soothe you.

I feel for you. The heat is so oppressive!! It's very humid here today which amplifies the 80 degree temps...but 105??? No! At -5 F, I've lost weight over the weekend when skiing but OVER 100 F??? No! No! No! M.S. is another condition that is exacerbated by hot temps.

You Are For Me

by Kari Jobe

So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true
So powerful in all You do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to You

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness and
I know that You have come now
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me Who You are

So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true
So wonderful in all You do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to You

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness and
I know that You have come now
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me that

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness and
I know that You have come now
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me Who You are

Oh remind me...

I know that You are for me....

(repeat chorus)

Repeat! Repeat! It's o.k....We're sharing spiritual songs as Paul exhorts us to do in Ephesians 5:18.

I was prepared to share this with you today and wouldn't you know that the sermon was on Ephesians 5????

Love, Michal

I searched Biblegateway.com and found the scripture Kari's song is based on!!! Psalm 56, verse 9

"...I know, for God is for me."

See verse 8 "You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle—are they not in Your book?"

Psalm 56

Amplified Bible (AMP)

To the Chief Musician; [set to the tune of] “Silent Dove Among Those Far Away.” Of David. A record of memorable thoughts when the Philistines seized him in Gath.


1 Be merciful and gracious to me, O God, for man would trample me or devour me; all the day long the adversary oppresses me.

2 They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up or trample me all day long, for they are many who fight against me, O Most High!

3 What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.

4 By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words and trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil and my hurt.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, even as they have [expectantly] waited for my life.

7 They think to escape with iniquity, and shall they? In Your indignation bring down the peoples, O God.

8 You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle—are they not in Your book?

9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me.

10 In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise,

11 In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise to You and give You thank offerings.

13 For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.

AMEN!! AMEN!! This is SUCH an amazing psalm!!

Love, God (and Michal)
