Hidden Blessings Crouching Doubt.

First an update on my bettering myself project. It's hard. I've spent time with God 4 of the 7 days this week and only stuck to my exercise routine once. It's not going to be an over night change I'm aware I just need more will power.

On with the post...

In the time I do spend talking with God I've been asking God to not prove to me but show me that I'm being blessed by him. Cause I believe that if your walking according to His will he'll send you blessings.

You see(I hate talking about this cause it sucks), my parents recently got a divorce. I'm not going into any detail(cause it's a personal matter) and I hope that others won't comment with details(cause again it's a personal matter), but it wasn't a pretty one. Because of that and because of my stance on the issue(I'm against divorce but support both of my parents), I feel like I'm out of Gods plan or will and for a while was blinded to the blessings that were already there.

Now I want to share those blessings with you as encouragement for the discouraged.

First the ones that have been there for a while.

My foundation. Without my foundation in Christ I'd probably gone off the deep end by now. I praise God for bringing me into his arms and loving me no matter what.

My family. God has blessed me so much with my family. Even though the divorce took place, without those people in my life I wouldn't be who I am today and I love my family for it. Nor would I have the family that I have of my own. Katrina has been such a blessing in my life. She's my best friend and closest confidant. She's the sledge hammer to my crazy ideas and I love her for it.

Jack(yes he gets his own paragraph). He's awesome. So many people asked what we wanted to have, boy or girl. All I wanted was a health baby and God delivered. I have a happy, smart young boy and another on a way. Besides salvation kids are among the greatest blessings!

My friends. I once heard that if you could count the number of close friends on one hand you were a lucky person. Not only do I have that but I have friends that I can not talk to for weeks call them up or go for a visit and it's right back where we left off. You guys know who you are and I love you all.

With all of these blessings written down the doubt seems to back off. And yet lately there have been more!

My Motorcycle. I was given a motorcycle recently and my Father-in-law helped me get it running. A Friend painted it and recovered the seat for me for free! And my Co-worker gave me a helmet for free! A motorcycle will be a huge saving on gas compared to our truck.

A House? We put an offer on a house today at a great price for us! We'd be paying less than what we're renting and building equity. So be praying for God to bless us in this.

A Car. We're being given a car. Long story short it won't start. But I'm a mechanic and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

There are so many more blessings and if I continued to type I'd be here all night and I have work in the morning. What are some things you consider blessings? Can you relate? Again just listing these as encouragement for myself and the discouraged. Good night.
