Our (MY) God is AWESOME

This morning I have been reminded once again of just how AWESOME my God is.  Yes, I know He is all the time, but at times things just hit you of how wonderful and amazingly complex He is.  In the Bible Study I am currently doing (Stepping Up by Beth Moore), we had a few lessons on how, since we are children of God, that we feel He belongs to us.  Meaning that when we come before God, we feel He is ours and only ours at times. Just like our earthly father is our dad and our dad only. Sure some of you may have siblings, but outside of that not many people can claim your father as there own.  It's a selfish thing to think God belongs to us, but then again when you have a close personal relationship with God, you can't help but feel that way at times.

God made man in His own imagine according to Genesis 1:27:
 So God created mankind in his own image,

    in the image of God he created them;

    male and female he created them.



God gave each of us two ears to hear.  So my guess would be that He has two ears as well since He created us in His own image. When I am teaching I have to tell the kids they all can't talk at once because I only have two ears and I can't hear what they are saying. However, how amazing it is that God can hear, loud and clear, all of our cries and prayers at the same time and still give each and everyone one of us His undivided attention and care.  Awesome isn't? That is my whole point to this post.  Within my own little world the last 48 hours have been busy with prayer concerns and prayer requests.  I want to share some of them with you, so that you can please join me in praying for these but at the same time be in AWE of how great and mighty our (MY) God is that He hears all of these at the same time and He will take care of the people we are praying for.

-My cousin's friend had her baby 10 weeks early (he came yesterday). Its a boy and he's just a little over 3 lbs. but doing good so far. The mom is doing much better, she had preeclampsia.

-A co-teacher at school was in a horrible wreck yesterday on her way to school. A car pulled out (didn't yield) and hit her in the side of her car; her car flipped three times and she ended up hanging upside down and had to be cut out. Amazingly enough, walked away with a concussion and some bruises. She's home now and doing well.

-A good friend of mine, her little boy had to be hospitalized last night due to the croup. He was running a high fever 103.6 and even after the breathing treatments, he still couldn't seem to catch his breath. Hopefully he will do better today and get to come home.

-A good friend of mine, has come to the realization that after ten years, her marriage is over.  A long and painful process has just begun for her and her kids. 

- My mom found out she is going to have to have knee replacement surgery for sure in January, but she is on the cancellation list if something comes available she will have it sooner.  She's had problems with her knees for a long time and when she and my dad came to help take care of Madalyn both times Kevin was in the hospital, her knee locked up on her and she couldn't walk.

-Kevin goes to the doctor on Friday to get an ultrasound done to see if there is any fluid building back up. Hopefully, not and we are praying he gets a good report. He tells me he feels great and feels normal again and he's acting like he feels good.

And there are so many more prayer requests, but these were the ones that have been up at the top of my prayer list over the last two days.  And I know that God has heard all these prayer request and He will watch over and take care of the ones I have listed in His own way.  Before you pray today either for one of these prayer requests or your own, stop a moment and give God praise and praise Him for who he is.  Be thankful He is the one in control not us. And celebrate the AWESOME God we serve!

Psalm 150:1-6:
Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty heavens.
 Praise him for his acts of power;
    praise him for his surpassing greatness.
 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and pipe,
 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymbals.
 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
