Praise Him in good times and in bad, no doubt. Having said that...

He's willed some good things to come to pass lately, and I"m thankful. Its interesting...when I was diagnosed as "severely narcissistic" (NPD) and all that and "professionals" unleashed all this cruelty onto me, they called it "humbling experiences." In reality...they saw a middle class loser who wasn't giving them $$$ and couldn't fight back. blah. point is...

now, I feel actually, really, truly, genuinely humbled by The Lord's work in my life. Not that I'm Mr.Humility, just...I'm not oozing pride and self-love, blah blah blah. Oh, and...His work in my life -started- with providing enough humility and clarity for me to get saved, in that moment. nearly 6 years later, I see how He (re)shapes His children...not just in my life, but in the lives of other Christians I've come to know, here and there, and...

God is good! :)

so there ya go. a Praise Report on a Monday, from -this guy-. :)
 
things are going surprisingly well, especially considering what came before. and...I am thankful, far more genuinely thankful than I think I've ever been in my entire life. I just...cannot tell you how good it is to be a member of my family again, to have a light in my eyes, to be healthy...and everything else...

as Lisa pointed out, its because of Jesus. BIG THING: forgiveness, being washed+made clean. I do believe in miracles, I do believe God does supernatural "stuff" that may or may not meet the definition of a miracle...

but God made Flesh is The Big Miracle of Christianity, I think...that and His death and resurrection. I just happened to bring an extra heaping of grit and grime to The Cross, so I'm thankful to be cleaned up, washed+made clean, etc...in this lifetime, even. :)
