This is my first post! YAY! But yeah...I just wanted to say that God has been revealing a great deal to me lately. He has been teaching me to have faith and that nothing is too big for Him to handle!! What pops into my head is the concept from the movie "Evan Almighty". In one part of the movie Evan's wife has left him b/c she thinks he has gone crazy because he is building a massive ark in a field beside their house. She had prayed to God for Him to bring her family closer...but then she feels like God has let her down because it seemed now that Evan had gone crazy and her family was breaking apart. So...she and her 3 boys were eating lunch and the boys left to go to the rest room leaving their mom all alone...as she was sitting there (i don't really remember how the conversation came about with her and "God" but I think it was something about some fries...??) and anyways...He says something to her and the concept has stuck with me. He said, "If you pray for courage, is God going to give you courage or moments in which to be courageous? If you pray for patience, is God going to give you patience or is going to give you moments in which to be patient? If you pray for your family to become closer, is God going to bring your family closer or give you moments to bring your family closer?" And with that statement she remembered her prayer and she realized what she had to do. But think about it....God is not going to just give us what we pray for on a silver platter...He will just give us the tools and the knowledge that He knows will get the job done. Also something to think about...God will not give you more than you can handle! Just have faith and know that God is on your side!!! Have a blessed day!
