Good morning my sweet friends, I pray your day is off to a great start, that you are filled with joy and that it just gets better and better all the day long.
This morning I have had so many prayer requests and I feel so honored that people come to me asking for special prayers. A long time ago when I began this blog someone told me to be careful and not get burned out or become so enthralled in it that I do not take time for me! I have to say I am coming around on 2 years of blogging and I have yet to feel overwhelmed, I have yet to feel burned out, and I certainly do not feel that it is taking me away from myself. Each and every time a person comes to me asking for prayer I first give thanks to God for this honor, I then go straightway to my quiet place and I pray. Please don't ever feel that when you request prayer that I do not "hit my knees" I do right then and there and I pray with all the love I have in my heart knowing that God is listening, that he will answer, that is will WILL be done. I see answers to prayers, I see blessings, I see miracles, I stand witness on a daily basis to God's merciful hand! As long as there is air in my lungs I will lift prayer to God!!!
