    Out Of Nowhere

    It's always good to give God glory. You do it. I do it. We sometimes even do it when things are not going too well.

    But every once in a while... when things aren't too bad. In fact, when things are going pretty well. Life is happening. Ups and downs occur. But, overall, life is going pretty decent.

    And then... WHAM! Out of nowhere - God just blesses the absolute bejeezers out of you. And you stand there and go... whaaa? What was that? Why did You do that? Where did that come from?

    Honestly... I'm ashamed of myself for not believing He will do this kind of thing more often. I'm ashamed that I feel the need to write about it. I'm ashamed that I make such a big deal out of it.

    C'mon folks... God loves us. God loves YOU. God loves His children. And He WANTS to bless us. I guess the question is... "Are we trustworthy with those blessings?" Do we recognize Him in the midst of our struggles?

    I am blessed. I am so thankful. I can 'see' Him at work in my life and my ministry. I am honored and humbled to be a part of His team. Just thought you should know that.
