An Awesome God

God is truly amazing. For a long time I have been praying that God would lead us in the right direction regarding what we should do for "E" for school. Then I was praying that God would either help to change "B's" thoughts on the problem or bring me to his way of thinking. I thought God had answered our prayers when we came to the same decision; and do not get me wrong he did answer my specific prayer. But it was just today when I realized that God went even further than I asked him to. We sat "E" down to tell her that she was going to have to repeat the first grade...I was really nervous but I just said a quick prayer that God would give me the right words. I was literally blown away and speechless when "E" did not cry, just said okay and looked as though the world was taken off her shoulders. I wanted to cry. It was not till later when I was talking to one of the mentor moms at my MOPs group that I realized that God was not only working on "B" and I, but that he had also been working on "E," opening her mind and heart and having her realize that this was the best way to go also.
I have always known that God is great and that he answers our prayers, sometimes with a no and sometimes not the way "WE" want them to be answered,. But today my eyes were open to how much further he goes, he goes further than we even think to ask. Our God is an awesome God and today I was reminded to ask him for more than I can imagine, sometimes His answer will be no but other times they will be such a BIG YES and our lives will be more than we could ever imagine. But God knows,he knows what our lives could be like and he is just waiting for us to ask and sometimes doing for us what we have not asked for or doing something for us before we have even asked. So today I am just saying THANK YOU GOD for giving us this blessing.
