God Through Pinterest

Lately God has been blessing us in some amazing ways.  We recently took a class to become members of our church and ended up sitting at a table with a wonderful couple our age.  Not only did it give us some faces we knew in worship, but they invited us to their connection group (Bible study group) and we were able to meet even more people.  

God has provided for us so wonderfully.  Sometimes I don't even know what we need, but He always does.  

He gives wonderful reminders too.

I've blogged before that Michael and I pray at night when we go to bed.  Not long ago I was completely exhausted at bedtime, both mentally and physically.  It was my turn to pray, but I asked Michael if he would pray instead and told him I was just too tired to even form sentences.  And of course he did.

The next day I was on Pinterest and spotted this:

Not only did I see it, but one of our daughters-in-law did too, and was going  to comment on it for me, then noticed I had already pinned it.

I immediately remembered the night before when I felt I just wasn't able to put the energy into praying. I am continually amazed at how God does little things to head me in the right direction and remind me what is important. 

In hindsight, not having the energy to pray was just an excuse.  I had a lot of things I wanted and needed to pray about, but in all honesty I felt overwhelmed by all I had on my mind and just didn't know where to begin.  

"Dear God" is always a great start.

That was exactly when I should have been praying. God doesn't care how garbled my sentences may be at times or how rambling my prayers may get. He knows what is on my mind and in my heart.  

I am so thankful God is patient with me.  


I am thankful God guides me.


And I am thankful He gives me constant reminders of His love and presence.


I hope you feel God's nudges too.
