God is Good...All the Time!

I have just been blown away at how good God has been lately. You know sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. You pray for little things like weather and tournament pairings to work your way but if they don't, then you just deal with it but lately I have been so blessed to receive what I ask for...

For example, last week I was having Cameron's birthday party (albeit over a month after his birthday). The forecast for the day: rain; not just rain, thunderstorms. I was really close to cancelling it because looking at the radar, it looked impossible. The rain spanned all the way out to Iowa. But there was a clearing and the sun came out and the temperatures soared perfectly for a pool party. That was an answered prayer!

Another one...Cam was playing in a tourney this past weekend. This Sunday was also the weekend that Brian was getting licenced as a pastor. If our game time fell anytime before 12:30, we would have to miss Cameron's game on Sunday. So when I saw the tournament bracket, I knew that we would need a #2 or #7 seed. I started praying, "God, please work this out for us so we don't have to miss a game." Guess what! #7 seed baby! Now that means we went 0-2 in the pool play but hey, we got the game time we needed. We were so thankful!

And yesterday, Brian and I started our training in Biblical Counseling at Faith. I walked into the classroom and there they were: killer lights! I thought to myself, "I'm a goner. I'll be lying down in the Yukon by noon with these things." I texted my friend Kelly and asked her to pray. I knew Brian was praying. I felt them come on several times and I would just say, "please God, NO!" and I never got a full blown migraine. I really never even got a headache. I just kept praying them away. Again, I was so thankful!

So maybe those things seem silly to some but they are praises to me and I know that God is good even when things don't go our way but I love how it builds your faith when those little prayers are answered. God is good...all the time:-)
