Make a Joyful Noise

I'm at a spring retreat for Life Teen, the theme is "Joyful Noise".  I feel so at peace & close to God on retreats & always pray that the feeling will continue after I return home & to the stress of work.

This weekend, we have been talking about the Psalms.  One of the Psalms that I really like is Psalm 139.  We had a session on Psalm 139 last night. I loved that it spoke of Him knowing everything you were going to do, before you even did it.  Even before you were born, he knew what your life would entail.   That's so powerful!   I had no clue even a year ago that I would be here, on a retreat with the teens, 3 weeks away from being baptized in the Catholic Church - but He knew before I was even born?  So awesome!

Another part of Psalm 39 that I really like is Psalm 139:14 - "I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made"
