Blessings...

after I read 1000 gifts it has made me much MORE aware of what is going on around me!.. I'm usually a very detailed person anyway but this book revealed lots more to me about being intentional about seeing God work everywhere, in all circumstances, in everyday life, etc....  I was so thankful this year for my birthday Michele gave me this book, I know it has been one of her favorites and she is so good about when something is precious to her she wants others to experience it too!... anyway.... I have just been so overwhelmed in the last few months at how God has worked EVEN through SUFFERING and seeing his goodness and love during those times!.. Just because we have a relationship with the Lord that do not guarantee us with a life of prosperity or no suffering!.. I do believe there will be quite a harsh judgement on those who teach this!... 
He speaks of suffering in the scriptures...

Romans 8:28 is one of my favorite verses "and we know that for those who love God, He works ALL things for good for those who are called according to His purpose"

I know God is GOOD and I want to live my life as a life of worship and give him ALL the glory and ALL the praise :)
