Talk to God about EVERYTHING!

I had different ideas for today's blog post but God put this upon my heart instead-
While attending a homeschool conference, earlier this year, I remember looking at all the books, feeling a bit overwhelmed.  I asked God to direct me to ONE book He could use in my life.  In the back of my mind I didn't think there would be a perfect book waiting for me to read/study but thought if there was one God would certainly know.  I was pleasantly surprised when God directed me to: Homeschool Supermom...Not! by Susan Kemmerer.

And once AGAIN while I was at the Half Price Bookstore God blessed me.  I was shopping the clearance section.  I had no idea what I wanted so I just asked God to show me something good.  He did!!!  I found a LIKE NEW copy of The Moral Compass by William J Bennett for .80!  I could not believe it.  I sometimes wonder if God enjoys "showing off" like this.  I know God doesn't really show off but I believe He DELIGHTS in surprising us.

I also know God knows I LOVE BOOKS! :)

God is a living, breathing and caring God!  Why do I not remember to ask for His help more often.  Sometimes I think something is so minor that I fail to ask God about it.  In many instances I think I can handle it quicker than asking God.  OUCH!

God really does care about EVERYTHING. 

So I started thinking what should I be asking God? 

I decided I should be asking God about EVERYTHING!

Then I began to question; What is Everything?

• My hubby is tired.  How can I bless him today?
• Kids are bickering over a BRUSH!  What should I do Lord?
• My child is overly quiet today.  What should I say?
• I've upset someone.  How should I make it right?
• I need a new bible.  Lord would you show me which one?
• So many chores!  Lord what do you need me to do right now?
• Lord I'm overwhelmed.  I don't think I'm doing a good job with school today.  It's not about me God.  God can you keep my focus on you today?
• I have nothing good to cook for dinner (or I failed to thaw meat).  What would make a yummy meal?
• My child does not understand a math concept.  Lord please help!

I'm sorry Lord for trying to do so much without asking you first.

Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God.

Thank you Lord that you promise to help us and you delight is us asking you for the help needed.
