Blessed

God is so good. Benji and I are both feeling a little better this week. Benji has taken some steps to solve the issue he has been dealing with. Please keep him in your prayers.

I am feeling a bit of God given relief. I am not feeling the peace that I need to feel to stay in my current position, but I feel that God has given me the bit of peace that I need until something else comes my way. He is so good.

Benji and I have done a lot of praying. We both feel that the Lord has put these road blocks inb our way to detour us back to him. We have never stopped believing, but I think we had started taking a lot for granted. These last couple of weeks have brought Benji and I closer and have brought us both closer to God. He is funny. The way He works is mysterious and amazing.

One of my devotions this week talked about parents and their children. Children ask and ask and ask, and the parents give. When the children are not thankful, or do not return the parents love, does the parent not tire of giving? This was compared to God, and the asking we constantly do. God give me this and please God give me that. If we do not return the love and have a relationship with Him, does he not tire of giving us what we pray for? This really hit home for me, and I shared my devotion with Benji. We have become very convicted, and I am feeling that I need to be doing something more as a servant for God. Please pray about this for me.

The Lord is so good, and we have seen that over and over. We feel so blessed. Thank you for being the family and friends that you are.

You do a daddy's heart glad. As I've always said, "attitude is everything." A close second to attitude is "gratitude" and I'm thrilled to see you rejoicing in the Source of all our blessings. And I'm grateful for YOU both!
