Sometimes I go through life so fast, and so distracted that I forget to look around see what I have truly been blessed with. I have been praying lately for God to show me something, to allow me to see what it is that I am failing at. Another thing I have been praying about is that God would give me strength to fight the sin that lives within me... a scary thing I know! That last part is credited to some mentors of mine.In my prayer time, I have felt like God has been a little silent, that He is choosing other ways to reply.
Answered Prayer #1: I received an e-mail from Courtney Ballard who works for id Ministries, which is driven toward teenage girls. This is something that has been on my heart for a very long time! Patience and perserverence does pay off!
Answered Prayer #2: My family is wonderful! I have been blessed with a Godly household and have never known a day without love.
Answered Prayer #3: God has been allowing me to see just how blessed I am, sometimes I forget that. He manages to show me something everyday about my life that is absolutely fantastic and God sent! God is also teaching me how to be content with the way things are, and with His plan no matter what.
Prayers in Process: The church! It needs strong prayer from everyone! We are about to go through some serious changes and making some major decisions. God is allowing me to see within myself some things I have run from, some things that I know He has specifically told me to do but I have just found reason after reason not to. Missions is one that has been on my mind most recent.

I know God has a plan, and I know that its going to take me somewhere that I had never expected. There are going to be trials, but the Bible says I should take joy in suffering. Not going to be easy, but with God all things are possible.
