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

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
