Praise Jesus!

Today has been a great day! Isn't it awesome when you can walk away from a day feeling rejuvenated from seeing God's hand at work in your life as well as others! Today, a great friend of mine that has struggled with infertility called to tell me she is pregnant! They were not even trying. In fact, they gave up about 2 years ago, I believe (maybe longer) and have been pursueing a Chinese adoption! How great is God! It is so funny to think of the prayers we all have and we pray them so earnestly, yet sometimes we don't get the answer when we want it. But, I tell you what, isn't it grand when God does choose to answer that prayer. It makes me just want to praise Jesus for all He has done for me and now for my precious friend! Please pray for her as she goes through this pregnancy. Her ultrasound is tomorrow at 9:30! The other great part of my day was just a special moment my husband and I had with our oldest. He came up to me tonight as I was grilling some chicken and out of nowhere told me he thought Satan was trying to convince him he wasn't truely a Christian. Can I tell you how sweet the moments are when your children let you see a glimpse of what is in their hearts. We had a wonderful, in-depth conversation with him and were even able to share from our own lives on how both my hubby and I had accepted Christ as young people, but were unsure at that time that it wasn't the real thing. It wasn't until I have gotten quite older and have taken the time to really think about it that I have realized I just didn't understand how to step from the infant stage of accepting Christ to growing in Him. When we finished talking, it just felt so good to know that he really felt confortable coming to us to ask his questions at his big age of 10! I hate there is not more quality time with each of the kiddos, but that makes me relish in those little moments when I feel their soul being poured out! I have a song in my head from all this good stuff going on. I am sure that you have heard it...Praise God from whom all blessings flow...Praise Him all creatures here below...Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts...Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost...amen. Take the time to worship God and give Him thanks for those little things in life that make us see glimpses of Him and His majestic glory!
