What stuck with you in a recent sermon

I was recently reminded about what our modern day idols are and how we worship them. In today's economy we have seen others lose important items. Others have had to give-up extra activities. As an example a family needed to give up the soccer, baseball, dance and piano. The lessons and outfits just could not work with the family's tight budget. The family made an effort to spend time together with their new open schedule and have found that they are closer. Sometimes when we give up a social must as blessing is waiting. Another great story is how a few families got together to go camping and shared the cost of gas, food, and site fees. They had the best vacation.

This question is one that I struggle with, primarily because in my relationship with God I tend to do all of the talking and none of the listening. I know that he has answered my prayers but can not always see it right away or even later after the immediate experience has passed by. Lately my prayers have been about gaining peace, comfort, clarity and healing my heart and relationships and of course Love. I know that God is working on all of this, much of these prayers are being answered through His faithfulness. God knows right now what my greatest desire is and He is not letting me be alone, he is not letting me feel that I am not loved. God is showing me what Love is and that it comes from directions that the human mind (or at least mine) does not always equate with that which I desire. But as God has promised He loves me and grants me more then I can imagine. God is faithful, patient and persistant. The answer to my prayer is my friends right now with out them I would be a reck. Yes I know some days it seems that I am but there is hope. Praise God for girl friends and LTG.

Post question #2

How has God answered a prayer for you?

I needed direction in my life. My faith was very weak, my dad just passed away, I could see no future as a nanny. I found myself simply asking God for help. I didn't even think that college was an option. I went to Doresy business school, probably from watching an ad on tv. While I went through addmissions the counselor mentioned that I qualifed for higher amount of financial assistance. OH!? I wondered if a college would do the same. They do, to make a long story short. I have found myself as a teacher always at His service. I truly believe that He set a path for me and guided me to this point. Proverbs 3:5-6

Great Idea

Hey Kyra, what a great idea this blog is!! Let me ponder over the above question today and I will try to respond tonight.

It's hard to remember all of God's attributes but the one that mean the most to me are Omnipresent, Loving and Merciful.

In the begining...

I don't want to make this too tough but list three attributes of God that are meaningful in your life.
Here are mine: strength, merciful, Omniscience (knows past,present and future)
