Each day I pray to God and ask him to bring my daughter closer to him in her spiritual journey in this life. I ask him to protect Brooke and provide for her. I ask him to help her grow stronger in her faith. Today I was blessed with the opportunity to see that my prayers are heard and that God is at work in Brooke's life. God is so good and his timing is always perfect.
Thank you Jesus, for working in my daughter's life. I am so thankful she attended Church with me today. Each Sunday I call or text message her to ask if she wants to go to church with me. Today her answer was yes. :)

I am so excited today to give praise and thanks to God. My daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren made it home safe and sound from their mini-vacation. I always pray and ask God to keep my family safe. I ask God to put his hedge of protection around each one and to keep them safe always. My prayers were answered! Thank you to the Heavenly Father, who always keeps his word.
This past Thursday work had scheduled my co-work and I for training. The training was 2 1/2 hours long and at the last 2.5 hours of the work day. Carrie and I were both concerned that we would be unable to complete our workload before leaving for the training. Without the knowledge of the other, Carrie and I prayed for a good day and workload. We didn't want to burden our other co-workers with our work.
Thursday arrived and we arrived at work. Much to our surprise, it was a beautiful day. The workload was light and easily accomplished by our department staff. Everyone was in a good mood. We were able to reach out to help one another. Carrie and I left the office to head toward the training. As we waited for the elevator Carrie said "Isn't this amazing." My response was "Yes, we have been blessed." Carrie told me she had prayed for a good day and I told her I had prayed for the same thing. We talked about how good God is and how he answers our prayers. The sermon at Church today talked of being a witness for God. Gospel: Luke 24:36B-48. Jesus has his disciples touch him to prove he has flesh and bones and asks for something to eat. He is given broiled fish, which he eats in their presence. Jesus convinces them that he has been raised and send them on am mission to proclaim the message of repentance and forgiveness. 47b and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. Pastor Jeff taked about how great the people within our congregation are at giving witness...as to the beauty of the flowers or the beauty of the day or the splendor of the green grass..and on and on. This is surely true for me. I try to give honest compliments to people. I try to acknowledge God's blessings when I realize them, but I fall so short of living as God wants me to live. This blog is one way I am trying to become more in tune with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as they work in my life. I also must witness more in the public eye among co-workers, friends and family. Frequently I ask God to protect my children. When my children are out with friends I usually ask God to send Guardian Angels to guide and protect them. I thank God when I get a phone call from the kids asking me if I will come pick them up and drive them safely home. I always answer yes. Our Heavenly Father also answers Yes when we call upon him to bring us through to safety. After praying last night I awoke and found myself looking at a tall figure standing over my bed. I was startled at first but then I reminded myself that I had asked God to send his Guardian Angels to protect all sleeping in our home. What an awesome God sighting. I was able to drift back to a peaceful slumber, knowing my prayers were heard and answered. God is real. He is ready to forgive our sins if we ask and believe. Thanks be to the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. God I want to thank you for all my blessings. I know that all good comes from you. Without you my life is empty. Thank you for providing God sighting for me to share with others. Prayers for comfort for a family who has lost their young son. No words are adequate only faith in our God will heal these wounds. Driving down Wayne Street today I saw a car that had Jesus loves you written on the windows with shoe polish. It made me smile and I thought to myself how very lucky I am to be a child of God. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. What a loving father we have that would send his only son and sacrifice him so that we could be saved. I hope everyone is able to rejoice in knowing that we can accept the gift of life everlasting through Jesus Christ. All is not lost. In our darkest hour we do not have to stand alone. Call upon the Lord, for he will not forsake you. I ask for God's blessings to be showered upon you this Easter season. As I was driving down the highway this morning I began to think about God and everything he does for me every single day. How could I possibly be thankful enough? Once again I thought it was never about what I can do. It is all by the grace of God. I can not be thankful enough. I just hope and pray I will recognize each opportunity to praise God and act on it. Having faith to go where God leads me and acknowledge that God is in control is the only way to experience peace. I know I must be a good steward of the resources given to me and share the blessings from God. This is one of the most important responsibilities I have as a parent and Christian. May God bless you this day. |
