There are so many things we would like....yet we havent asked for them.  If we don't ask for anything, we may have to settle for whatever life hands our way.  Why not take the time to ask?  We don't have to be too specific, just ask.
 
Think about this....
 
walking up to the counter at the local fast-food restaurant and asking if they had our order ready.  "What order?" the counter person would ask.  "Did you phone one in?"  "No, but I thought you might have something for me behind the counter anyway."   That's absurd, we might say.  How could we expect them to have food ready for us when we hadn't yet placed our order.  Exactly....and how can we expect the magic of the universe to start bringing us the things and experiences that we want for our life if we haven't named them yet.
 
So, we ask ourselves...Have we placed an order yet? Maybe we thought about it at the beginning of the year, but put it off until we had more time to think about it.  And everyday we stand at the counter of life asking "What do you have for me?"  So don't wait, ask for what you want....adventure? excitement? Love? health?  Put it on the list, write it down.  There is no guarantee that you'll get everything you request.  Life/God may have other plans for us.  But we'll never know whether we can get what we want unless we know what that is  and  ask for it first.
 
 
This may all seem silly..yet Jesus tells us" ask and you shall recieve, and all things are possible thru Christ.  That's enough for me!  I will trust and obey, for there's no other way....." to  be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
 
 
because of His AMAZING GRACE....
