I've been sitting here this morning, trying to think of something to blog about. Some days are like that. Other times, it just comes easy.

Today, God sent me my topic. It's an answer to prayer!

Let me start with the back story.

My husband works for Goodyear. Last year he took on a position where he is in charge of a section of the plant when the full time person can't do it.

This weekend, he's been doing the job. He's been having some frustrations, not all of which I completely understand. He tells me numbers and machines and such, but honestly, it's like a different language most of the time.

What I do understand is that last night he called me very upset. Apparently he had been left short handed and was struggling to make sure that enough tires were being built. Around 9:30 or so, he recieved a phone call from the second in command at the plant telling him that he wasn't being effective in his position and that maybe they would have to review that position and give it to someone else.

Needless to say, he was very upset, angry and sad over that.

I immediately began to pray for peace, control, effectiveness, an ability to encourage others to work, clarity and anything else I could think of that he might need. I asked God to be with my husband and to give him everything he needed to stay in control of the situation and to do what He deemed best for him.

I just recieved an email from my husband, a copy of an email from the fellow who called him last night saying Good job.

Praise God! He touched my husband last night!

I promised God I would tell of His Glory in His answer to this prayer. Something we should always do anyway. I will tell everyone I know, including my husband that it was God who brought him through this.

Give your problems to God. He will take care of them. We don't need to be burdened. As Christians we need to be sure that we are allowing God to care for us, so that we can sing his Praises and be filled with His peace.

Praise be to God! He is good, isn't he?

Finding Peace

I don't know about you, but some days are worse than others.

I've been doing really well lately with staying calm and peaceful. I'm not getting upset, or frustrated. Not getting angry with the kids, not stressing out if something is left out on the counter. I just stay calm and cool and filled with the peace of God.

Today isn't one of those days. And I just don't know why. Little things are getting to me. I'm feeling more and more like my old self. I feel like the woman I was who was always angry, always yelling, always nagging and picking. I'm getting upset when the kids interrupt me.

And I just don't know why.

But, I'm praising God anyway! He is good. Always good! I pray His blessings and His peace on me as I find my way through this new life I have embarked upon.

I'm certainly going to need His help!! ;)
