Okay so I'm learning more and more to be careful about "what" exactly you pray for. Case and point. Our family just finished passing around a nasty stomach bug. Ironically (or not?) I just prayed to God last week to "please help me lose this last little bit of post baby belly jiggle."
God has a sense of humor doesn't He? That is ok. We are all much better now. (And I think I actually did lose a pound or so, who knows??) I certainly haven't "felt" like eating for the last several days.
And here is another example of how I need to be careful what I ask for. I stumbled across this verse recently. It is Psalm 19:14- "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." (NIV) So, why is it so hard to speak so nicely since reading those verses?
Well because the devil does not like it when we cry out to God for help. This is when he gets a foothold and tempts us at our weakest. But, I've realized this over and over: My God is greater than all my doubts, fears, pains, and weaknesses. And I know He will see me through it all.
Did I mention I stumped my toe too? (Call the "toe truck" please!:) How silly of me. And I think I broke it. I guess I just needed a little sympathy. God hears my needs for that too. Isn't it great we have a "Daddy" who loves us through all we go through, no matter how insignificant or unimportant it may seem to others? He hears and He cares.
About our little Motley Crew: My son loves his new school, our middle child and daughter is doing well, and our baby is just as precious as ever. She smiles all the time and is so easy-going. God knew my 3rd (and final as far as we know) child needed to be pretty easy. He knows what we can handle and he is so good!
