Right now more than any other time in my life I feel like God is speaking directly to me. That doesn't happen a lot in my life. I spend most of my time wishing I could hear more from Him or that I must have missed what He was saying. I guess these times are needed so we can grow. Since we have been here I have heard and have seen Him in the strangest places. For instance, this morning on my breakfast tray there was an inspirational quote. They do this daily, but today it really stuck out in my mind. Hope you enjoy!
"I asked God for strength that I might achieve,
I was make weak that I might learn to humbly obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things,
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy,
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men,
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life,
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for -
but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unanswered prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed."
