A friend sent this to me. If the lady in the story can do it then so can I.

God promises that He will give us a peace that surpasses understanding, but not necessarily a peace that always will give us understanding.

You may be facing a personal crisis right now. Maybe it is a lack of employment. Maybe it is a foreclosure on your home or a loss in your investments. Maybe you have a marriage that is falling apart or a prodigal son or daughter. Maybe you have a life-threatening illness. Maybe you are paralyzed by fear as you think about an uncertain future. So what should you do?

The Bible tells us the answer to worry is prayer: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

I have lived by these words since my son Christopher's departure to heaven, because I have been hit with harsh reality of it-most notably, his absence.

There have been waves of deep sadness that have overwhelmed me at times. So I pray. Sometimes my prayers are not long, but simply a cry out to God: God, help me. Give me strength right now. And He does. He gives me the strength that I need. It is not necessarily more than I need, but He gives me what I need for what I am facing at the moment.

The psalmist wrote, "From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I" (Psalm 61:2).

So when you are feeling overwhelmed, pray. Things will fall into their proper place as God brings about the events of your life according to His perfect will.

I know her music but I’ve never seen her in a video or perform live. Her voice was beautiful on Oprah and I’m glad that this is the first Pink performance that I got to see.

This amazing show of art will define her and I’m sure broaden her career. Pink spoke with Oprah about singing for 10 years and people still don’t know who she is. Well girl I think you just fixed that problem.

Pink is singing for real too during the performance. She spoke of breathing extra heavy to prove it.

Update. All bloggers had to take the video down so here is a link to view it. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/pink-grammy-awards-2010-performan...

Note to all Oprah fans. If you are 27 weeks pregnant or farther do not go on the Oprah show. The excitement just might make you go into labor. This is what happened yesterday at Harpo studios. A woman who had waited years to get on the Oprah show had her water break before taping.

Being only 27 weeks along she thought that she was safe to see the show. Little Justin who was born just 20 minutes after his mommies water broke at The Oprah Winfrey show apparently wanted to make a statement when he came into this world.

His mission was completed as the cameras showed Oprah running out of the studio to talk to mom Lori in the ambulance. Being that she was in labor it was not much of a conversation but Lori did manage to yell Oprah’s name mid contraction.

Say some prayers for this family because we all know that this is a very early birth. Justin is doing well but is going through a lot of tests right now. Lori did get to talk to Oprah on the air today and will get her chance to see the Oprah show when she is ready. Of course Oprah is going to fly her down to see a taping to make up for Lori missing yesterdays.

What a great family story this will be.
