Two cups of coffee no shame. Bursting out to some Rend Collective as I reflect on the words ,"Grace in kindness". Wow! what powerful words to chew especially on Thanksgiving! It is so easy to get caught up in the details of what is and what's not but if you stop were pretty blessed because He gives so much. Check out Ephesians 2:7 and then read Psalm 103. This one was important to think about because I started looking at my goals and my student loan. I was quick to check into the impossible and forget the possible. Then I had to pause to remember who always cares for me. Who loves me most? God! He is my defender! He has put a roof over my head even though I don't have my own apartment yet. He has give me a job as a teacher which I would not of imagined. He has give me my beautiful church Immanuel! He has given me clean water, clothes and a heart beat! Praise to God! Thank Him for the simple today!

Delight
The Lord never over looks the desires of our hearts. As I reflect on my list I can see where the Lord has honored one of them. One of my dreams is to be a mother one day. Although I have no biological children I have many. They are my precious children that I teach everyday at my preschool. Each of them teach me something every day.
I count that a joy. Yes, I am their teacher but the task is much more then teaching them. It's an element of love. This love sometimes means:
* Rocking a child to sleep when sometimes you just want to rest
* Offering them your last chicken nugget even though you may have wanted it
* Crying with them because you know that their feelings are so real
* Wiping their noses
* Laughing with them
* Allowing them to be the great story teller
These needs are so basic but these little things are so important. I gladly do them because this is what I would want even for my own child. I'm thankful God would entrust me with the task. I count it a great joy! Therefore I ask you, How has God honored your desires?
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart
