Funny Little Prayers

Yes, I pray funny little prayers. I'd like to share them with you.
1. Before I pull out of the garage, I always pray for safe travelling mercies and good gas mileage.
2. When I put gas in my tank, I ask God to bless what I can afford in gas and I thank Him for His provisions and that I'll spend the gas wisely. (I get frustrated behind slow-poke drivers and often gun-it as soon as it's legal to pass them. Needless to say, this uses a fair amount of gas.)
3. I try to remember to pray over the grocery money I have each week and that God will grant me wisdom to use the money wisely and still get more that I planned.

These are all quick little prayers I usually say while sitting behind the wheel of my car. The funny thing is I tend to notice answers to little prayers better than I notice answers to big prayers.

I totally understand! When I was single I would drive across town to visit my boyfriend (now husband) or other friends who lived across the river. On the way home (which was usually late at night) I had two choices. One was quicker but took me through a semi bad part of town. I could pass that exit and go to the interstate loop and take a little more time to get home but pretty much stay the same speed and there were no red lights. Well every time I would come to the first exit I would be praying asking God which way to go. Sometimes I felt peace about going the short way, sometimes I felt like I had to keep going to the loop. I always thought it was a little silly. But then I know it just goes to show how much my heavenly Father cared about me.
I was feeling kind of guilty the other day because I had not had a big long prayer session in awhile. Then hubby and I were talking and he commented that Im always taking to God throughout the day. Many times DH asks me, "Who are you talking to?" and I look up suprised and say, "Oh just talking to God about this or that."

Glad I found someone who is the same! LOL

I pray the samethings, so I don't think their funny at all. In fact, I've been praying for 2 years for the Lord to remove an old fridge off of our porch (we weren't able to get anyone to do it). It was taken this morning! :)

Hey, there! It's great to see another Kateri -- there are so few of us, especially adults. I know of few children with our name. Well, I guess our parents have good taste;)

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
