Food for Thought!

The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like anever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11.

We all seem to like our familiar comforts, I learned recently the difference between "wrong" and "just different." One thing that has helped me to develop a less rigid attitude was a realization that jesus didnt limit hiself to only one "correct" way of healing. Sometimes he healed with a touch (the leper), Sometimes he spoke. Sometimes he sent his healing ahead, and occasionally he even spit. (the dirt going on the blind mans eyes) I confess, I dont like that miracle. Not only do I find it disgusting, but it is outside my definition of how Jesus should heal. I have to wonder if I have refused his miracles in my own life because they didn't come in what I thought should be the correct package or how I thought they should look!

I prayed this morning:Lord, help me not to demand that others or you do things my way. And help me rejoice in your miracles no matter how they are packaged. Help me to see the miracles even when they aren't as I think they should look.

QUote FOR THE DAY: Every time I reject Jesus' ability to handle any problem of my life, I am rejecting Him as the Lord of my life.

EVEN IN THE VALLEYS I WILL SAY... HOLY. MY GOD.. YOU ARE WORTHY OF ALL MY PRAISE!!

I love seeing my boys faces light up.


So... now it is officially 2009 and were are beginning the New Year off to a good start. Gavin will soon be 3 in Feb and I cannot believe it! Time flies when you watch your angel grow before you eyes!
We have many goals set for us as a family in 2009. Some of which involve... selling our current house, paying off some debt and last and most importantly... God willing... we hope Gavin will be a big brother in the next coming year!! DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING YET! I AM NOT PREGNANT AS I WRITE THIS... BUT IT IS IN OUR PRAYERS FOR THE CURRENT FUTURE! SO... TO ALL OF YOU... HAPPY NEW YEARS. MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. I KNOW HE ALREADY HAS WITH US AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT 2009 HOLDS FOR OUR FAMILY.
