Thinking...

So, I haven't posted in a while, but things have been busy.  Tonight, I had some time to think and reflect.  First, I have to say thanks to the husband of a great friend!  He volunteered to watch my little peanut so that my friend and I could go out to dinner!  How fabulous!!!  I told him that Adam would be baking him cookies and sending flowers!  So, as I am sitting at dinner and we are talking (non-stop, mind you) it occurs to me that it is the people in Indiana that have made it home.  I have come to realize that I have some amazing friends here...dare I say some of the best friends I've had.  Not that I haven't had great friends, that isn't what I'm saying.  It just seems as though people here are so friendly and make time for you - and are genuinely concerned for you and your well being.  I could list many dear friends that I've made here in Indy...and I thought that would never happen!  I guess that I just forgot how long it took in Colorado.  What is that saying, "Good things come to those who wait."  Who would have ever thought that they were talking about friends!

In my reflecting, I was thinking of great friends, family, life in general.  I am truly blessed!  I have a great home, a great base of friends, my family loves me, my daughter is awesome, and my husband loves me.  It has been almost 9 years that Adam and I have been together and it seems as though things are better now than ever.  On top of a great life, I am loved by God.  I have thought a lot this week about how much he loves us and it blows my mind!  God is truly good to me as I know that everything I have, everyone who is in my life, everything - is a gift from Him.

On a slightly different note, I was reminded by my friend that I need to trust Him for even the small things.  Do I think he is concerned with finding a couple more MOPPETS workers?  I never (honestly) thought to pray about it and trust that he will provide what we need.  Why not though?  I can trust him for the day to day life things, that bills get paid, etc.  Why not the workers for this great ministry?  Seriously...how big do I think I am?  I can't do anything and obviously my efforts aren't taking it as far - I've hit a wall.  God can jump the wall and let's face it, he could squash me, he is THAT huge!  I need to trust, way more than I do!

Oh the things I need to do, the things I need to work on.  I should never expect to be status quo as that won't get me anywhere.  Always growing, always changing...that is where I'd like to be.  I am so happy that I can surround myself with people, here in Indiana that challenge my thinking without even knowing they challenge me.  Again, I am blessed and God is good!  You may hear more about my thinking because this friend challenged me that much!  Kind of nice though!
