I've been praying for God to make a way so that me and Tim can take the trip to NH and MA that we planned months ago. $$ is looking like it's not there right now. I know God is more then able to do whatever he wants. He can provide and do miracles. We've been on the receiving end of that so many times. He is a loving and providing Father. But lately I'm feeling guilty for praying for something so "shallow". I know there's more 'important' things to pray for: like my family (immediate and extended) - praying for the youth, praying to break bondage and strong-holds, pray against the religious spirit, pray for freedom, and overall just God's will for my life and those around me. And I just find myself praying for God to make a way to go to NH and MA first? I keep thinking of the scripture I listed above. and I know that's true. But I don't want to twist it to apply it to my life so I feel like God should answer my prayers in this area. I know there are things that He answers "No" to. And I do understand that, even if there's major disappointment.

So God, There's 2 more weeks for my prayer to be answered. And I'm gonna keep asking and asking and asking. And I know you Love me no matter what the outcome is. Please give me wisdom and give me the ears to hear your voice. I love you.
