When God Speaks...
My experience with the Lord hasn't been so much an audible conversation, but more of a confirmation with the word. And that confirmation is hard for me to ignore.
I have been praying a lot more for friends around me and he gave me this verse.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” 1 John 5:14-15.
I really love this verse. Even if my prayer isn't answered, because He knows what's best, I know He hears me. Sometimes we forget, sometimes I forget, that He is listening. When I feel lonely, He is there just taking my words in. When I read it, I loved it, but I kind of felt like I wasn't sure about it. I think it was a great reminder that God is there, listening to my every word. He's listening attentively and He is ready to answer my requests. Even with the amazing verse, I let it go and didn't understand the full power.
I got to the track this morning and my homepage is biblegateway.com. They have a verse of the day and you will never guess what exact verse what up for the day: 1 John 5:14-15. I was blown away. How did God know I need this confirmation? I can obviously answer that question, but its an amazing feeling to get this type of confirmation. Ashley, just ask me.
So I asked. And I'll keep asking.

Cool Pics, Funny Pics, Bike Pics
I found a few funny pics to go along with some pics from down south in Alabama. Hope you enjoy.
Ben fell asleep on the couch and I couldn't resist taking a picture. He's so peaceful.
Yes...I took this picture with a really heavy camera.
And to think he shaved his beard just over a month ago. He's already trimmed it a few times. My manly man.
No phones at dinner...am I right Kristen?
Garrett lent me his hat. It has the awesome quality.
Confederate Motors make a crazy awesome bike.
Oh yeah...I would lift it off the ground if I didn't think I was going to drop it.
Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment. They are always much appreciated.
