Blessings

I have so much to blog about and not enough time. As I currently do not have internet access at home, it is difficult to keep up. However, I have been blessed so much recently that I just have to testify! My life is kindof crazy right now. I am still living out of boxes; my "home" is being rented in Columbia, we are living in a flip house that will be put on the market in a few months, and we are waiting to close on a new home in GA. My days have been filled with fixing up a house, exercising, traveling back and forth to GA, and trying to survive in the heat. As we don't have cable right now either, we have been watching dvd's alot. Most of our dvds are packed in a box so we have been checking them out of the library and watching netflix. I am not one to buy a lot of dvds, but because it is our only form of entertainment right now, I decided to splurge and purchase some at Walmart a week or two ago. As I was perusing the selections, I came across a movie entitled, "Faith like Potatoes". I read the back and thought it looked interesting, so I purchased it. Wow, it has inspired me so much. I have also read a study guide for "The Prayer of Jabez". I am not one to get on the band wagon of the next great Christian trend, so I did not read this book when it came out. As I read through the study guide, I decided to pray for blessings, to be filled with the Spirit to expand territory for God, and to protect us from evil. I think there is a fourth one, but haven't dealt with that yet. Well these two things combined have reminded me to have faith to believe in the impossibles, and that God does answer prayers. I have experienced amazing blessings in the last few days. Discounts on bills, one bill completely covered, a free termite inspection, protection from a truck hydroplaning in a rainstorm heading right toward us and swerving away at the last minute. No rain a mile up the road from the incident. A huge financial blessing totally unexpected; really an impossibility. God has also allowed me to experience healing in my health issues in the last few months. While I know life is not lived on the mountaintops, God allows us to experience the mountaintop to encourage us. Believe me, I have experienced alot of sadness and difficulties as well, and God has taught me alot in the hard times, too, but right now the mountaintop is pretty awesome and a reminder that God cares about each one of us and will meet our needs even when they seem like hurdles too difficult to jump over. I also realize that I experience blessings everyday, but do I recognize them as such and give God all the glory and praise for each one of them? I am opening my eyes to see them more and more each day. Are you?
