One Blessed Family..

Kypton and I got to spend time with my best friend and my "niece" this afternoon. Kypton just ate and is now taking a little snooze, so I am going to make this pretty quick. I am just sitting here, looking at my little guy and thinking about how truly blessed we really are. We have so much to be thankful for and have such amazing friends and family.

I was thinking about how much I need to do and what I can do to help with the finances from home and I got to thinking after listening to Dave on CDs this morning, that I need to get back to praying. I pray and go to church but I feel at this point they are just actions. I really need to pray and GO to church. Listening is a lot harder at church now that we have a little one and you just look at him and bounce him to keep him quiet (I'm not ready for the nursery!) Dave explains that prayer is what God wants, he wants us to come back to him and he will be happy not angry with the actions we have done, or the lack or responsibility we have had with the money he has provided, he will help us through this, he won't make it go away but he will walk with us.

So, as I sit here and realize how blessed we are to have the money that God provides that takes care of us I realize what I need to do to really help out with the finances..PRAY! Everything has been pointing in that direction, from listening to a country song on TV the other day, "Don't let your Praying knees get lazy," to listening to Dave, to talking with my best friend today, "pray" has come up in almost all the things I have been doing.

I am going to get back into reading and doing my daily devotions. Who was I to think that we could get out of debt in the next year without asking for help from God, and thanking him for what he has already done for us. This has always been a struggle for me, praying, going to church, and really living out my faith. I can do it in private but I have never been good at talking to others (other than my best friend) so here it goes, starting with my family. I pray for them but I think its time we start praying together!

Thank you Lord for allowing me to see that we need your help and for opening my heart to be able to ask you for help and put my pride aside!

Love,
