I have been praying about many things lately and I have seen God move in amazing ways. During my prayer time with the Lord yesterday, as I thought about all the things to say, 'Thank you' for, I was moved to tears. When you name your blessings and say out loud, "Thank you, Lord," you are reminded of just how much He has really done for you and how much He really DOES for you! It reminds me of the song I used to sing to my children, "Count your many blessings see what God has done. Count your many blessings name them one by one."
Here is what I am so thankful for today:
1. Friends - New and Old - I have prayed for my friends a lot lately and I have been asking God to bless me with some new friendships as well. He has provided!
1 Timothy 6:17, "...God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy."
He just wants us to ask, to talk to him and tell him what's on our mind; tell Him our hurts, our blessings, our dreams, TELL HIM EVERYTHING.
Brandi and I went shopping the other day (no surprise there) and I bought her a couple of things. In one particular store there were two shirts she wanted, but she only handed me one. I assumed she didn't want the other one. We paid and left and went somewhere else. Later, she mentioned that she really wanted that other shirt. She didn't ask for it or I would have bought it for her. It's the same way with God. He provides all our need and even some of our wants. He already knows them, but He wants that communication. He wants to talk to us and for us to talk to Him. Communication...another topic for another day. :D

Matthew 7:7-11, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
Well...that's all for now. More later...maybe.
Love to all!
