I'm smiling because one of the guys in my office popped in here for about 15 minutes to chat with me. We don't talk a lot but casual chit chat and for him to do this now was quite a blessing. He even told me he was praying for me and hoped all would work out for the best, no matter what happened in my life. *sniff*
In my line of work nice guys are hard to find, let alone nice Christian guys so this really made me grin.

My little said something about a week and a half ago that was really funny.
One of my twins had just done something that was really "blond" lets just say. She realized it right away and we all started laughing. Then my little says "To Stupidity and Beyond" and that just put us on the floor rolling with laughter. (Of course I reminded her later that we don't say the S word  ) But, anyway, my little says "you should tell your friends on the computer about it." I said, "we'll see" thinking probably not. Well this morning....it's a week and a half later, she asked if I told ya'll what she said, and I told her that I hadn't. She got this really thoughtful look on her face and She said, Yeah, it might be hard to do 'cause you wouldn't want to just put it on there and be off topic or anything. She is 8 what does she know about off topic?  , LOL, How do they learn these things? I laughed so hard.
My kids make me smile!

I've been down some roads these past couple of months, and have had some lessons learned. And am soo thankful for the grace of God.

Quick smile...
It snowed again today... that's not always a smile, especially this time of year, but today was one of those days where you could actually see the individual patterns of the snow flakes! A simple pleasure.
Our Lord is so awesome to make such a beautiful, delicate thing as individual snow flakes! Wow!

I had God speak a really cool thing to my heart yesterday which is keeping a huge smile on my face.
Moving into spring has required me to let go of things from the past, including relationships, which has been really hard.
Yesterday as I was driving the long drive to tutor my students, I was flying down a country road ,my eyes blurred with tears, my heart breaking as I cried out to God.........why don't you answer my prayers Lord?
Why Lord, if spring is a season of new beginnings, new dreams, and new hope, why do I feel so hopeless? Why does it have to be so hard Lord?
All of a sudden I hear this huge bang, my car swerves and I see something fly out from under my car.
Thump, thump ...........I knew my tire was flat.
I saw an old driveway, which at least had some old broken pavement, belonging to an old run down barn.
I pulled in to be off the road and what I thought might be more solid ground.
Once outside of my car I could see what had happened.......my tire was not only flat but it was completely torn in two, with each half still attached at the inner and outer rim but the center of the rims exposed. I have never seen anything like it before.
I stood there in shock..........I can't handle this Lord.........
Knowing I was going to be late for tutoring I began to move. Almost as though in a daze I gather my spare tire, jack, and jack wrench. Where was my lug nut wrench?.....I looked everywhere ........it was gone.
I wanted to just sit down in the grass and cry.......
I kept moving forward........
I walked down the road till I came to a farm house where a gentleman was mowing his lawn.
I asked if he had a four prong lug nut wrench.
He smile said yes and asked if I had a flat .
"Yes" I said
"Would you mind if I changed it for you.........it might be faster", he asked.
A flood of relief cascaded through me.........emotionally, physically and mentally I just did not have it in me to deal with changing a flat tire.
The lug nuts were so firmly on it took all of this man's strength to loosen them.........I could never have done it on my own.....and quick he was..........he finished changing the tire in time for me to make it to my student's home for tutoring.
Later as I was sitting by a river talking to God between sessions, God said to my spirit.........Joy I answer your prayers when I know it is something you need.........something you need to continue on the journey I have set forth for you to travel.........The prayers which don't seem to be answered, they are the things which you don't need in your life.
He continued, Joy I know what you need to bring you such joy, excitement and adventure....To make your life the type of life I created you to live...... I know what you need. Trust me to fulfill those needs because I always will.
One of the things which really stands out with the lesson God spoke to me yesterday.........is I didn't pray. When I got out of my cry and saw my tire I didn't get on my knees, fold my hands and offer up a pray. I didn't pray....I cried out to God.......my heart raw, my pain evident, and my thoughts far from please God will you do this for me. It was not a "Dear Lord, pretty please" prayer God was answering but the need he saw in me.
We tend to pray our Dear Lord Prayers hoping God will answer them and give us what we have asked......when he doesn't we pray again.........Yet several times, especially lately God has provided what I needed even when I didn't pray for it.....often not even knowing it was a prayer of my heart until it had been answered
Funny thing about my tire experience. I wasn't prepared for it but God was and he had already put everything in place to meet my needs including having Sid put a tire in my trunk three years ago which all along I have thought was my donut but it isn't. It is a brand new tire on a rim ( my donut is still screwed in under the trunk carpet).....God was so well prepared he even knew I would not have money at this time for a new tire so he gave me one a long time ago.
God saw a need, prepared for it and answered it without me ever uttering a prayer.
Makes me wonder how often I don't hear God's voice because I am too busy "praying" over what I think I need? I wonder how often he has given me what I need and I continue to look for a different answer because what I received is not what I requested.
What is best for me? Do I know?.......he knows the people, relationships, activities, things, and motivations I need in my life.........if he hasn't answered a prayer the way I want it is because he knows I don't need that person, place or thing in my life at this moment..........AND maybe .......Is it possible......the path which he has taken ahead and prepared for me doesn't line up with the thing for which I prayed and asked? Is it possible he knows and meets my needs without me on my knees?
God makes me smile...........
