Trust in God with all your heart

  Everyday on my way to work and right before I close my eyes to go to sleep, I pray. I pray for us, our friends, and our family. I always end my prayer with what I end my blog with, "Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people,etc."  I never took the time to step back and see if God did answer my prayers. I figured eh it'll happen when it happens and I'll thank him later. Over the past few months, I have taken the time to acknowledge God's work in action.

   One of my good friends at work has been struggling a bit. She is a wonderful person who constantly puts others before herself. She is living paycheck to paycheck and is doing a damn good job at being a single mom. She is such a strong person and I admire all these amazing attributes she obtains. I prayed that she would no longer have to struggle the way she is and be able to get to a place where she could relax and just work to have extra money on the side. Ladies and gents, my prayers were most definitely answered. She is moving in with her boyfriend here soon! They found a quaint apartment on a good side of town and you can just see how she lights up when he walks in to our office. I am beyond happy for her. :)

  That is just one example. There are a few more but I think y'all get the jist. Don't take the things God does for granted. I know there are times when it may seem that God is not around, but he is. I have to constantly remind myself when times are hard that God would not put something in my path that I could not handle. I ask that you do the same.

   We were just blessed beyond belief recently. We found out Devin got approved for 30% disability from the military. His unemployment was extended and he is doing phenomenal in school. He will soon move on to doing his elective classes and it will be a breeze from there on out. He won't be done until Feb 2015, but I will be done with one year of nursing school and he will move back to San Antonio and begin his career as a motorcycle mechanic. I am so thankful for how blessed we have been and continue to be.

   So friends and family, remember God does answer our prayers. Sometimes not in the way we would like him to,but we have to remember he has a plan for all of us. We need to keep faith and trust in him daily.

     Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.
