Today

When I woke up this morning I was renewed and refreshed. Yesterday was such a long day.My sons and I traveled to Alabama to visit the school that my oldest son will attend this fall. The drive for me was a little overwhelming, I don't drive over two hours. Yet, as I drove, I was praying and asking God to carry us back home safely. We ran into several rainstorms. As I drove, I continued to pray every mile of the way, my two youngest sons kept saying, "Mama why are you praying, haven't you prayed already." I responded with, "Pray without ceasing." Then my oldest son added, "Do you trust God." Although he had a point when he asked me if I trusted God. I had to let him know that it was not that I don't trust God, I just need to have this conversation to calm my spirit." I was tired, exhausted and ready to get home. Yet, I knew we had to go to Miles College. I knew that his future depended on it. When I finally arrived home, I retreated into my room, I gave God the praise for bringing us safely on our journey. I retired to my bed and woke up this morning with even more thanks and giving praise. You see, I have learned that in order to receive the blessing of God, we must praise him. I will serve the Lord with Gladness and no matter where I am and who I am with his praises will continue to be in my mouth.
