Important Conversations

As a kid, I was told, "God knows what is going to happen - He planned it all! He just knows. God knows what you're thinking."

So, naturally, as a kid, I thought to myself, "Ok, then why pray? If He already knows..."

I still fail to pray as regularly as I should. I fall short of giving God all of my time. I am constantly reminding myself that my time is ultimately His time. And a relationship does not flourish with the absence of words. Therefore, I need to speak with God more often than I do and it is a daily challenge, when it really shouldn't be a challenge - it should come naturally to me. I'm working on that!

Daniel is great about keeping me accountable to praying before we eat, or praying when there is something weighing on my mind. I am forever grateful to have Daniel there to keep my head on straight and for keeping my eyes fixed upon God! Daniel provides me with things far greater than any materialistic things can provide to me!! In the moments that he brings me coffee or picks me flowers from our yard, I am grateful for the romance he provides in my life. But I appreciate the spiritual gifts he gives me far more!! A relationship without would be a voluntary death...

I am forever grateful for this man of God that provides for me more than any riches or things ever could! I do not deserve this great gift. This husband of mine! <3

And, of course, I just have to include my all time favorite picture of prayer!! It just so happens to be Daniel and I... ;)
