Wide awake at 3am!

Not sure why, but I am wide awake and it is 3am! I have to get up in 5 hours, and should be sleeping.

I figured...hey what a better time to write a blog than at 3am in the morning!

God has been working in so many areas in my life lately!It's been a crazy ride, fun, scary, exciting, stretching but most of all rewarding to see where God is taking me and realizing that He really is in control and nothing I do can change that, well wait, I can change that by going and doing my own thing but why...when someone else is in control and has the wheel and most of all, knows exactly what He's doing. Why would I want anything different?

I'm glad I'm not in control because I've been there and done that and messed it up!

I'm so thankful for amazing people God has put into my life, for a mom who supports me and provides for me when I'm needing help in certain areas, for friends that allow me to vent without coming back at me with advice about what I need and don't need to do in certain situations, a church that supports me 100% and speaks truth into my life. But most of all I'm thankful for a God who loves me and is there for me every minute of everyday, holding my hand and leading me through all things.

That's my rant for this early morning post. Hope all is well in the land of the internet!

100 Prayers God Loves to Hear, 100 Praise Songs ~ By Stephen Elkins

This is a great book for kids, of your own or if you are in children’s ministry. The prayers are easy for children to understand as well as the songs are upbeat and easy to learn.
As a children’s ministry worker this will be a great book to help kids learn how to pray and learn songs that relate to the prayers. It is a book I would highly recommend. Book review for booksneeze.com
