A day full of gratitude
If you wonder why my posts are about gratitude lately it's because I feel like if I'm not grateful for all things then I'm playing God choosing what I think is best for my life. I've really been challenged lately to look up to Heaven and trust His Hand is always working my life events for what's best and what will serve His purpose and bring mor to Him. Isn't that what it's about? Bringing people to Jesus. My life has been so much about me. And not so much about taking this cross and following Him. This cross this life. The good. The hard financial crisis and the unknown in the future. Today I have what I need and for today. There's a lot I need to get for my oldest to go to ministry school and I really could use prayer. She's twenty and has no car. She's going to be living in apartment with roommates. I have nothing for this fall except the promise that He will and can move mountains. Do I believe He can and will? Yes.

The desert
And in the desert, there you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place. Deut. 1:31.
Yes all the way. To me this says that all that's happened in my life the good and the not so good God has been here. The way that my daddy carried me to bed or the way he carried me up the steps of a stadium football game and when he picked me up as he walked through the door home from work. I remember how excited dad was when I wanted to be with him and spend time with him as we had many special times. Dinners that we couldn't afford to go he would take me on a date. In elementary school he would take me to lunch at the place of my choice and we would go get me some white boots that zipped up the back. I felt so special.
God who loves me even more than my daddy probably feels the same way when I spend time with Him one on one time. Just He and I. Its amazing that the creator of all this wants me. To spend time with me and sing and dance over me. To see past the flaws because he sees me as forgiven. So today I recommit to Him. My all.
