My Thanks

I thank the families who plowed the rows of my mind when I was a child in Sunday School.
I thank the Preacher who emulated a heavenly father the way God meant a father to be.
I thank my mother for all the sacrifices she made, and for encouraging me in the way of the Lord, even though she did not know the way herself.
I thank the women in my life as a young adolescent who sowed God's word endlessly.
Again I thank the Preacher who gave water and fertilizer to a parched field.
I thank the woman who spent the greater part of a night talking to young girls one summer, and still had time for a shy girl. A girl who realized she was without God and headed for Hell. I'm thankful that she took a few more min. to pray with me, as I asked God for forginess of my sins, and asked him to save my poor wretched soul.
I thank the young men in my life who proved there were more Godly men out there, and that someday I would find the one God meant for me.
I thank the man who married me and is a Godly man, and will be a Godly father.
I thank the many countless others who have touched my life in ways innumerable for me to list.
But lastly,
I thank the God who gave His only Son to die on the cross for me. Who paid off the debt of all my sins, so that I would not spend even a single moment in Hell, but live forever in Heaven with Him.

I've been thinking

Yeah, I even know your response, Don't hurt yourself.
Lately I've felt that I need to turn from my own ambitions and recenter myself on God's path for my life. 'Cause quite honestly, His plan for me is much easier for me, than the convoluted mazes my simpleton brain conceives for me are. ( is that sentence comprehensible?) As a result, I've stopped my writings. Not altogether mind you, I've been working on something that I hope represents God, and reveals him to others around me. But I haven't been posting online, because more and more this blog became an arena for the wonders of yours truly. It hit me tonight after church, along with a few other bricks of import, that this unnoticed little blog can be used to God's Glory, if I give it to Him. The other bricks were every other aspect of my life.
And so I pray.
My God, My Heavenly Father, I want to do your will in all that I do. I pray that the promise you gave in Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.
Lord I pray that you work on the hearts of the people who read this prayer, and I pray Lord that I will have the opportunity to communicate with them. I thank you, My Saviour, for all the blessings I have recieved. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
