Thank You

"Remember that I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go." Joshua 1:9

I've noticed a pattern in my prayers. Everytime I sit down and spend time with God, I'm always asking that He provides me with strength and bravery. This is especially true each week before my client presentation. "God, I pray that you give me the strength and courage I need to get through this presentation today."

I read the verse above the other night and it really sunk in. God has already given me strength and bravery, I just need to recognize it in myself.

Rather than ask God for something, I need to thank Him for what He's already given to me.

Fetch

Our kitten Madison is looking more like a cat these days, but she is still a playful, hyper little kitty. She loves water bottle caps and will play with one for hours.

One day, I was sitting on the floor with her and I flicked the bottle cap across the room. She ran after it, picked it up with her mouth, trotted back to me and dropped the bottle cap in my lap. I said, "ok, let's play fetch!" So we did for about fifteen minutes. She loves it and it is the cutest thing to watch. We can be in any room of the apartment now, toss the bottle cap somewhere and she will go get it and bring it back. She's so smart!
