Labor Day Blessings...

God Blesses us in many ways when We just live our lives out in a way that pleases Him...

1) First of all, this morning I got to see my sweet niece Eden, and nephew Sam, and of course my brother Steven, Christian, Holly, and my Dad :). We just had a little cook-out where we threw some Bratwursts on the grill, and hung out with each other. It was a cool, yet somewhat warm day that reminded us all of the wonderful fall season that is ahead. Personally I am SO excited to be able to actually put on an outfit that consists of more clothing than shorts and a tank top. This means, scarves, pants, cute shoes, and I can toss those flip flops in the closet for another year. I mean, don't get me wrong, flip flops are amazing. They allow your feet to have the freedom of ventilation with the comfort of Havianna's cushion underneath, but they are longing for a deeper comfort.
2.)
I also drove to the farm town of Bradford to pick up my step-sister Rebekah, and made the mandatory stop at Starbucks on the way home for their limited time Pumpkin Spice Latte!! mmmmmmm yummmm.. It's been too long! and since Starbucks is afraid to plant it's heals in the DD loving city of Ellsworth, I have to take advantage of being in Bangor near one while I can!
3. (also my favorite)
You know how people always try to encourage you with the solid truth that God cares about every aspect of our lives, and even the little minor thoughts that we dont even take the time to pray about? Well, I have come to the realization that when I have little desires, most of the time God grants me the desires even before I ask for them, and what a blessing they are!! "sigh"
If you have read my previous entry, I mentioned how i want to learn the piano. But how does one accomplish such a task when there isnt a piano to play?? Well, ladies and gentlemen...God provides.
I was bringing a friend home from prayer tonight, and I mentioned to her how I wanted to learn the piano, and she pipes up and says, "oh hey, we have one you can have." I didn't believe it. But, yes, tonight i drove home with a keyboard, stand, and music stand. AWESOME!
When I take the time to pray about things that I think are so important and huge in my life, I lift them up to the throne room, I believe I still have doubt in my mind.
The Lord saw my little desire, and it came to be in almost less than two days.
So now, I will journey into the piano realm of music. I am so excited!
