Thursday!? Seriously!?

Today is Thursday!? 

Are you sure!??

Yep. That is what my calendar says. 

Where has this week gone!? 

I feel so behind this week and I haven't even sat and wasted most of it away in front of this screen. What is going on?

I am currently listening to my 9 year old and 5 year old watch Diego with their 3 year old brother about an episode on whales. They are pointing out all the parts of the whale and what the whale is doing. Haha I guess the Apologia Swimming Creature lessons are sinking in. I am sitting on the other side of the wall just cracking up listening to them. Who would've thought Diego was going to help reinforce their Science vocab from the week. ;)

So much has gone on this week. Break through is realizing how to pray for certain things now I just need to sit and make that hard praying to take place. For me that means lots of pen to paper time. That is where I seem to really lay my heart out to God. I have been blown away with all that God has been laying on my heart lately. I am excited to see what it all means.

I think I mentioned this verse a couple days ago but I have really been claiming this verse lately.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 
Mark 11:24

Such power in that!

On Monday night our Women's Pastor shared this verse...

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. 
Hebrews 4:16

Prayer and praying with more fervor has really been the lesson God has teaching me this week. Like to the extent of that is all I want to do. Seek answers and listen for God to show up in only a way he can. He is going to too I just know it. Isn't that awesome to know that God already has the answer and all we have to do is reach the mark in the road that sets off his fireworks display!? Can't wait to reach that mark.

I suppose I should get a moving on our day as we have plans for this evening and there is a lot I would love to accomplish today.

Hope you have a blessed day!!

And now it's Wednesday again! Last week seemed to start really slow for me but by the end I wondered where it had gone.
We've been walking through some, hum, testing I guess and these verses, especially the second are good encouragement for the situation. I need to do more resting and I need to learn what exactly what resting in God looks like. You'd think that after a lifetime of living in a Christian family and following Him I'd get it but nooo. Still so much to learn!

Now, a random note. I noticed that the person who visited before me is from Perkasie, PA. I used to live there! I love random little connections like that and (being my mother's daughter) I also like to share them with others.
