So is bugging Him. Personally, I think He likes the extra attention sometimes…kind of like my dad used to when he'd smile and tell me "no" anyway. It was part of our relationship and how we interacted with each other. My kids do the same thing to me, and honestly, sometimes they're nagging is the thing that makes me smile biggest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493428142939187605.post-18394096786857043702013-11-11T08:27:58.687-08:002013-11-11T08:27:58.687-08:00God definitely does know our needs, and I think we...God definitely does know our needs, and I think we also have to understand that it might not be packaged the way that 'we expect' when he gives us the answers, and we need to think outside of the box - he will always give us more than we can ever ask for or expect, thanks for sharing.

When I begin to feel that I can't go on one more day, I remember that He has plans for me. I just need to surrender and trust Him completely.

Another Rolling Stones album?<br /><br />No, seriously, that is so true.
