A new day for me!

So, I’ve decided to start blogging!  I’m sure some of you think, “Do you not have enough to keep up with already?”  Well, yes I do but I also want to pen, or type I should say, stuff that’s going on in my life.  I’ve been told to write a book of inspirations because of my daily devotions I post to facebook but haven’t felt led to do that yet.  Maybe this is God’s way of breaking me in to try and type it out.  Anyway, I am going to TRY and be successful at this but cannot guarantee anything! 

I love blogs.  I love keeping up with the lives of friends but I don’t always have the time to pick up the phone and call.  I have recently started following a blog of a Godly woman that is my age with two children close to the age of my girls.  She had a stroke a little over two weeks ago and is in the hospital but her husband has been updating her blog on her progress.  To my amazement, through this thing called cyberspace, her blog has reached over 40,000 hits from people that are praying for her.  I think this is phenomenal.  There are people all over the world that are keeping up with this precious woman and praying for her daily.  Her blogs name is The Simple Wife and you can read her story here http://thesimplewife.typepad.com/.  That is one amazing story!  Anyway, I’m gonna run and get a little work done before I pick the kids up from school at 3:00.

Oh, and one last thing!  During my time with God this morning, He gave me this: But when you ask Him, be sure that you REALLY expect Him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.  People like that shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord…James 1:6-7.  When we pray, do we REALLY believe or do we, in our minds, just HOPE He answers our prayers?  Maybe WE are a little doubtful and we aren’t getting what we’ve asked for because of that smidgen of doubt!
