40 Days of Praise: Day 5

sorry for the delay... i felt that since i was not seeing my kids every second of everyday that i could not do anything else... thank you for the clarification on this issue stephy... actually if i had the choice i would love to see the kids everyday, but sadly that is not an option at this point...

now on to the praise... i am thankful for how God seems to work things out... that is as simple as it gets i guess... when i for whatever reason can't see the sun through the clouds it amazes me that there are things going on none-the-less... God revealed that to me again as he answered yet another prayer request that i had no idea which way things would go... in fact i was preparing to move in the direction of God not blessing me in this situation... some come to me and say, do you know that such and such is the Lord's will for you? then i say yes or no or i don't know and if the answer is yes, they confidently tell me to speak what i know to be God's truth... sounds kind of bold and despite being a Christian for 13 years i sometimes still wonder if i can be so bold... understand that i know the answers in my head, but i think i may have trust issues for whatever reason... though i know God wants to bless me, i wonder if He will anyway... i like to be a positive bubbly person, but i think i expect the worst in a lot of situations because of things that have happened in the past... it is almost like i can believe that God wants to bless you more than He does me...

yet despite my lack of faith, or whatever it is, God is still moving and never ceases to amaze me... praise God for moving and caring about me... praise God for wanting to bless me and even doing it... may i be bold enough to believe that He wants to do that too...

in the future, be ready because i am believing that there will be posts to come where i will say what God has done to bless me and blow my socks off...

also, thanks to everybody for the concern in the last post, but if i can make a request; like kirk said, i am not a fan of the anonymous thing either (especially if it is negative) so if you want to be a part of these conversations, give us a name... also, love each other... for real...

hey,
I didn't dare venture into the comment box with a comment during last weeks conversations but I was gonna drop a line saying hi..this seems like a more appropriate time to do such a thing. And I agree SOOO much that it is awesome how God works everything out. I love it so much to look back on things and see his hand in different situations in our lives :) Anyway, I better get back to my studying for exams. See ya around. I'll be home in a little over a week! :)

Hope He continues to bless you in ways you cannot even fathom. Trust Him always and He will never leave you stranded. As for the kids, He will help you find a way. Sorry I am remaining annonymous, it is not always a bad thing!
