Still learning

Over the past few weeks I've been reminded that God is always with us and never "forgets" about us even if we don't see things moving like we think they should.  

My step-dad Richard had a triple bypass surgery twelve days ago that we didn't think he would make it through.  Not only did he make it through the surgery and all of the hurdles that came along with it, he gets to go home today.  I'm still learning that God is in control and still amazes me with how he works in our daily lives.  Thank you to everyone that prayed for him, the doctors, nurses and my family.  It means more than you'll ever know.

Also, at church yesterday I was reminded that everyone around has something they need prayer for or know someone who does.  It made me realize that I shouldn't get so caught up in my own issues that I forget to look for someone else that needs prayer as well.  I have had my own major prayer request for the past year about having a baby and I know in the Lords time it will happen if it's supposed to.  It's just tough waiting and being disappointed every month. 

I'm still learning daily about this thing called life and God's plan for my life, and I'm okay with that.  :)
