Thankful for you!

 

I wanted to take a quick moment this week and say...

I am thankful for you!

There are so many things you could be doing right now.  You have a lot going on this week.  You chose to read this message.  I am thankful for that.

I write to encourage and bring the love of Jesus to everyone.

I wanted to start a ministry of Hope.

His Hope.  His Joy.

You have helped me do so by reading my ramblings here and passing them along to a friend or two.  And for that, I am thankful.

When my kids were small we used to do a prayer/gratitude journal during homeschooling days.  Some days I go back to those journals and just read the things we were thankful for. 

This blog is an extension of my thankful journal.

I can go back and see all the things God has done these past three years when I started this journey. 

How awesome is our God that we can go back and remember the Great things He has done!

Love You Guys!

Short God story...

 

Can I share with you a quick God story?

Sometimes God answers our prayers quickly!

I was worried about my son recently because I hadn’t heard from him in a bit.  Instead of sitting in my worry and going down that rabbit hole… I reached out to my Heavenly Father.

I prayed and asked God to reach out to my son and keep him safe. 

“Please give me a sign he is okay.” 

Then I let it go.

The very next day I got a phone call!

On the other end of the phone was my son sounding extremely happy!

He said, “Hey mom! I had to call you!”

“I had a dream last night about you, and told my pastor about my dream.”

“He asked, ‘When is the last time you spoke with your mom?’”

Huh… My son told his pastor he didn’t know, and said he would call me.

So…

The Next thing I knew the phone rang and I was speaking to my son!

What a COOL GOD Story!

Now stay with me for a second here.

Three things had to happen in this story.

First - I prayed.

Next - God spoke to Joey in a dream.

Finally - Joey responded and called me.

I wouldn’t have known God had reached out to Joey after I prayed if the final step had not taken place.  Joey’s obedience to reach out to me showed both of us the wonder works of GOD.

SO – If you are praying for someone. Remember – OUR GOD HEARS ALL PRAYERS!

Also, if you are praying and haven’t seen any results – Keep the faith!  HE IS WORKING!

The third step hasn’t happened yet.  Pray for the third step!

Never forget - God is always LIVE STREAMING!

Love you guys!

 

‘This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.’

1 John 5:14

‘I love the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy.’

Psalms 116:1

‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.’

Philippians 4:6-7

'“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” '

Mark 11:22-25
