Little Things

The past week has been a busy whirlwind.  I spent last weekend photographing at a christian camp in New Hampshire.  Had a great time taking photos and connecting with the youth that were there.  Home on Sunday..photos to process, bills to pay and a stepdaughter having problems with her boyfriend.  Seems like I'm always juggling a variety of things on any given day.  

Above all there is the time to bring my needs before the Lord.

    Prayer is something I used to dislike...

     but I have to come to know

        just how powerful  

           prayer can be.

I have prayed my son through rebellion and drugs...

   I have prayed a friend through the loss of her 21 year old son...

    I have prayed for people battling cancer...

       and so much more...

Prayer is reliance on God...

   to know that when I cannot control or handle a situation

     God in his infinite power can.

After doing the bills this week, I realized how tight our budget would be until next paycheck.. my brother in laws band is playing Friday night and I wanted to go and take some photos..but it cost to get in.  I was really disappointed that I might have to cancel and take this off my schedule.  So I pray..."God..you knew that I wanted to go and support him and take photos.. you know there is no money in the budget for that this week.. thanks for all I did get paid and done"...

My brother in law messages me to see if we are coming... and guest what??  The show is FREE this week!  The other bands cancelled and the venue just wants to be open with a band, so I get to go and support him and take photos - yeah!!

Don't assume that anything is too small

      for God.

He hears our prayers, even when we half heartedly throw them out

     thinking that they are too trivial to be answered.

God isn't just God of the big stuff..... he's God of ALL the stuff!!

Even though my God is a BIG God, he's not too big to want to handle

      the small stuff in my life...

       and he wants to handle the stuff in your life...

Just give him a chance.. 

      and see...

          what he can do.

Nothing is too small for God.
