“Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. It puts us in tune with divine wisdom which knows to adjust everything perfectly. So often we do not pray in certain situations, because from our standpoint, the outlook is hopeless. But nothing is impossible with God. Nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied. No relationship is too strained for God to bring about reconciliation and understanding. No habit is too deep-rooted that it can not be overcome. No one is so weak that he can not be made strong. No one is so ill that he cannot be healed, no mind so dull that it cannot be made brilliant. Whatever we need or desire, if we trust in God, He will supply it. If anything is causing worry or anxiety, let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God for healing love and power.” EGW, R&H Oct. 7, 1865

At 2:30 am I awoke with a start. Not sure why, upon awakening this quote, which I have on my refrigerator in the kitchen, came to my mind. I figured there must be a reason so I began praying, knowing God must have His reason for bringing it to my mind. So as the saying goes, I plan to let go and let God, whatever comes and goes. In order for me to be able to do that, I need to be in constant connection with Him.

Happy For A Reason reason’s:

1.       A prayer connection with my God! I don’t have to wait until I can reach Him on the phone, it is immediate, anytime, and any place.                                                                                                 “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.” ~SC page 93

2.       Juanita, Derrick, Clarissa, and Levis came over for a barbeque and fun outside. Delicious barbeque!

3.       No rain when it was time to eat! We got to eat outside!

4.       A Western Tanager in my blossoming apple tree! Derrick spotted it, I ran for the camera, bird flew away… Oh well, camera is ready, maybe tomorrow.

5.       After the kids left, I got some sleep. Then I woke up to sunshine and a beautiful view of a snow covered Mount Hood!
