Preception belongs to each individual.I see the glass half empty where another may see the glass half full.God sees it the only true way.We want every sistuation to benifit us and what we want.We want God on our side.I pray,you pray each asking and expecting our requst to be granted. God loves each the same and forgives each the same and hears each of our prayers the same.The out come of any situation will be His will, not mine or yours.
I have to be ready to except his answer to what he knows and is for his purpose.
I do not requst my prayer on behalf of myself , but because of my great love for the one I have prayed.
I do not know what answer his answer will be, but I trust Him in all things.
If I am selfish with my request and his will is not what I pray then I pray for his strength to except it.I am here to serve and do his will.
If I fail gloryfy Him,I pray for grace,mercy,and forgiveness.......
Two roads diverged in yellow wood,and sorry I could not travel both..... I took the one less traveled by...and that's made all the difference...

RESTLESS
Why do I find myself so restless?My mind wrestling with so much.I heard some one say once, it's like spinning plates! Trying to balance so many at a time knowing that at some point at least one or maybe more will fall.Which do you let fall and which do you try to save.Some are made of glass and some are plastic.What is really important?
Expectations,we all have them.Is the movie like the book?Does the good guy always win?No!We all live in the fairy tale world where we want the happy ever after to be our story,but that's very seldom the case,but when it is we are one of the lucky ones. Life throws so much at us that sometimes we make decisions that are life altering.I have come to realize that most the things I wrestle with are not in my control.There is but one plate that I should focus on balancing and that is trust,trust in God.And Expectation,well I should only expect that I am not in control.If only life was that simple.It really is. but I myself choose to make it difficult.
Restlessness,it's like the flu,none us us want it,but we all get it from time to time.The only medicine, trust, and the only physician is God.
So this morning as I find myself restless and my mind spinning like plates I think....I'll let a few fall and let someone else clean up the mess........

PEACE IN THE MIST OF A STORM
As I sat on my patio drinking my warm tea,and listening to the rain fall through the trees,with thunder in the distance and flashes of lightning lighting up the sky I felt a soothing calm and peace.A feeling I love....God says I can have that same peace in the mist of turmoil in my life if I trust him...
I am so Thankful I have a God who loves me,Jesus who died for me...and GRACE and Peace....

An Image of God
Braden ask,"Nawna what does God look like?"
I responded."He's like the wind,you may not see him,but you can feel him.
I ask."how does it feel when you are loved?"
His response,"It feels good,happy."
My response,"That's God.That's love....That's like the wind,you may not see him but you can feel him.
All Glory to God!
