Blue Cars & Blessings

This afternoon I stepped onto the front porch of my parents house and decided to count the blue cars that went by. For no reason other than..my car is blue. Hey what can I say, I'm easily entertained! As I'm counting and I get to 5 God uses this to show me how He blesses me. Sometimes the blue cars came back to back or spaced out. But I always knew they were coming simply because I know they exist! God's blessings are ready and available. Its just when He will give them to us. One by one or back to back. Faith helps us trust that God is in control and His timing is the best. Ultimately we know our blessings just like blue cars exist so we just have to wait on them!

BTW..There are a lot of silver cars out there.. *wink*

Book Spotlight: The Power of Positive Thinking

I picked up a book Sunday night in Barnes & Noble having heard about it before in another book that I've been reading. Its called The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. I have not been able to put this book down!

On first glance it seems like a self-help book but its way deeper than that. I would describe it as a book that is helping me get closer to God. Really! God promises are all through this book and even though I am only at chapter 5 I am more encouraged and feel more at peace than I have in years. I know it is no accident that I was able to have this opportunity. I am so in love with God promises that I find myself diving into the Bible in search of more peace and comfort.

I really can't describe how elated I feel and I know everyone may not feel the same when reading this same book. God reaches and speaks to people in different ways and I honestly believe He is reminding me of who is right now. All I want to do is shout and praise Him right now. I just finished reading Psalms 27. Read it and maybe you'll understand.

Sidebar: This book was written in the 1950's but it is timeless. God's promises were the same then, now and forever.
