He knows the little birdies...

Our Daily Bread
Yes, God knows the little birdies and every flower in the field!  How much more does he care of us!

I am so thankful for this message today.  God has been prompting me to turn more things over to him (as I have been writing about).  I am having trouble trusting him because I am not seeing any results.  Doesn't he know I am a results-driving man!  hehehe  Of course he does!  I have to admit that there are some things in life worth waiting for.  I am not sure how some things will work out.  I understand a little more know why some things haven't worked out according to my schedule.  They would have failed miserably!  Miserably I say!  hehehe.

Look at the things and people and situations in your life.  What do you need to turn over to God?  I pray that God gives you the glimpse of his master plan when you need to see it.  He helps us trust him even more!

Thank you, Lord, for knowing what is best for me.  You know the desires of my heart better than I know them myself.  Thank you!

Witness Wednesday
As I mentioned above, there is a situation in my life that would have worked out horribly if I could have followed my schedule the past few years.  God has something else in mind.  I am following his schedule now (the best I can at least).  It is amazing how God knew all of these things ahead of time.  He allowed things to happen in my life that disrupted my original schedule.  It has been the best thing for me.  Praise God!  I am working on the goals from that original schedule now since the doctor removed my physical activity limitations.  I am excited!

Yes, it can be difficult to be patient.  It can be difficult to trust God.  God knows how you feel.  Talk to him about it.  I know that I probably talk back too much!  My friends would not be surprised by that!  Oh well.  You can't lie to God.  You can't be upset and doubting in your heart and then try to tell God "Oh yeah, I am trusting you.  Right behind you all the way".  DOH!  He is God!  He knows your every thought and deed.  Be honest even when you are doubting and disappointed and happy and sad and full of praise.  It is OK to talk to God like you would a best friend.

Our God is an awesome God.  He loves you more than the birds and lilies of the fields.

Other Stuff
I had a restful evening last night even though I had to get a few things done.  I took a short nap when I got home.  Warmed up leftovers for supper (salt potatoes, thank you my hero!).  Cleaned some floors.  I FINALLY read the instructions for the Haan steam mop I bought last year.  Apparently, I have been using it incorrectly all this time!  DOH!  I understand how it works now.  The tile floors look great!  I also got a birthday card ready and worked on my checkbook a little while.

I don't think I have written about my friend yet.  God led me to a new employee at work, actually a transfer from out of town.  He is very nice.  Very handsome.  Very straight.  God lead me to him to help him with his feelings of being alone in a new town.  God used him to show me that God can use anyone in your life as long as you let him!  This guy left me the nicest voice mail on Saturday because he didn't want to let the day go by without wishing me a happy birthday.  God is so good to lead folks into our lives!

Hang in there, my friends!  I will be upbeat and steady.  That is what I do...
