My Lord my God

God is so good. He never ceases to amaze me! He constantly reminds me that He really does care about the little things that are going on and not just the big things. I have always prayed over my children about every little thing, starting with when we first found out we were pregnant with Savannah. I prayed that she would be healthy of course, but we prayed even down to the minute details like how much she would weigh (I was worried I would have a like a 10 pounder and have trouble having her). He answered all our prayers and I am so greatful. As I prayed, I knew that the Lord did not have to answer all of my requests because He might have had a different plan, but I asked anyways because He tells us to. In Philippians 4:6 it says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." So I have done exactly that. Anytime I begin to worry about my children for any reason, I give it over to the Lord and have asked God specifically to tend to that need. In so many instances God has answered my prayers so specifically. In one instancewhen Savannah was a little over one year, she seemed to have difficulty giving and receiving love for some reason. It really bothered me and I could not figure out why she did not seem to like hugs or affection and she did not give it either. I began to pray about it and within several days I began to notice a drastic change. She became so much more affectionate and began to love affection and to this day she is so sweet and affectionate and gives and receives it just as I had prayed for! I have always prayed that she would love other people and she always has. She remembers everyones name and talks about peopole we have met or friends and family all the time. Over the past few months I have noticed that Gavin seems to be very easily frustrated and often has fits of frustration. I bagan to pray that God would take away any tendancies toward anger and frustration and bad temper and that he would be content and peaceful and not easily frustrated. Even in the past week, I have already noticed a big difference in his attitude and temperament. God is so good and so faithful. Daily I have been praying over my children, covering them in prayers that are specific. Often times I have found myself getting very frustrated at my children for whatever reason. As I continually prayer for peace, God always steps in and lifts the frustration and reminds me of His love and grace and they are just learning and that this to shall pass. Every day I rely on God to guide me moment by moment in the daily training and guiding and raising my children. I am so thankful because my heart's greatest desire is that my children will walk in the ways of the Lord and love Him with all of their hearts! He truly does dive peace that passes all understanding. Oh how I love having a blog where I can just ramble on and on and share a bit of my heart to whomever might read it!!
