Blessings

I just love Blessings by Laura Story. The words are comforting to me... I am not going through a storm right now (other than living with a very defiant 2 and a half year old), but I have been through hard times and I know hard times will be ahead of me. I know that the storms "grow me" so to speak...I just need to remember that in the midst of the storm!

I love the verse from Phillipians "He who started a good work in you will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (It was part of my devotion today.) Just a reminder that my Spirtual Journey should never be stagnant- I should always be searching for new wisdom in God's word every day! This verse is one I believe I should impress upon my children also. I read a quote by Stormie Omartian that has stuck with me If you are not covering your children in prayer every day, you are leaving their lives to chance. In this world, I do not want to leave their lives to chance- granted some days my prayers for them are longer than others, but I do want them to have an unshakeable foundation in this world! Scriptural Blessings that I have been praying...Assurance of Salvation (Jn 3:16), Friendships( Eccl. 4:9-12), Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts(Eph. 5:18).

Praying for Godly spouses for all three of them one day

Praying for blessings bigger than my greatest dreams for them! (Eph 3:17-20)
BLessings- life is full of them, even when we don't realize it...
