Geez

I am not as up to date on this thing as I thought I would be. I thought I would have a lot of free time to do it now that I am a stay at home mom. Nope! Sam keeps me busy. He is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on things. I can hardly get anything done cuz I have to watch him at all times. I need to buy one of those play yards. so I can trap him in if I need to get something done. I sure love him though!

Something I learned his week...
Sunday at church was a really good sermon. We went to Lake Pointe again which was awesome. They meet in the pastor's basement. We pull up Sunday morning, after deciding to go last minute due to me being in pain the night before, and the Pastor is standing outside and walks to our car and said "hello! We are so glad you came back!" wow what a greeting! made us feel welcomed definitely.
Anyways, the sermon was on Matthew 7:7-12.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9"Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?

10"Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

11"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

12"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

amazing. The pastor also kept referring to chapter 6 verse 33
33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

So when we ask, seek and knock it should be for his glory not ours. So many times I pray for things selfishly but need to know that its what God has. He isnt going to answer my selfish prayers. My prayers should be asking for things that are to glorify the Lord.
Major conviction this last sunday. Probably good that we ended up going. Something I needed to hear. Its not about what I want. Its about what the Lord wants. He is the one who was before time began. He created us.
Praise the Lord!
