A few days ago i was in my prayer closet....(which has been my car lately) and i just started praying. The first thing i said was "God thank you for who you are" thats ususally how i open in prayer and has become a habit of mine. Its funny because right after that statement God really checked my spirit. Not like a convicting check, but more like a hey understand what what you're saying kind of check. So many times I say that phrase but do I really take into consideration who God is and why im thanking him for being that?
So me and God had a really nice chat on who he really is in my life. First i thanked him that he has been so good and merciful to me. Forgiving my past and preparing my future. Then i thanked him for being patient with me. For helping me up everytime i fall and for telling me things a million times over before i finally understand. I thanked Him for being a constant in my life. That no matter where i go or what i do he'll always be there with me. I thanked Him for being real to me and that he is more than a diety, he is a friend. I thanked him for the gifts, emotions, passions, dreams, and perfect plan he has for my life and i pray that i use everything to bring him glory and better his kingdom. I thanked him that i am nothing. My life has no meaning if i am not doing his will. I am nothing if he is not in me.
During this prayer time i realized two things. 1. not to become complacent in the way we pray, and 2. Really understand what we are praying and understand the full meaning of the words we say. This average prayer time in my car turned into the realization of who God really was, is , and will be in my life. Thank you God that you have not called me to live an average life, but a life above reproach and of constant refining.AMEN!

Simply amazing! That pretty much covers it.
:) I just wanted to let you know that God is smiling on you right now. Smiling saying, well done my good and faithful servent...but its not the end...that's the best part. Keep pressing bud, keep seeking Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. A couple of days ago I was reading in Jeremiah...I think God gave me a verse for such a time as this... Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."
Everyone around you can see that your hearts desire is to find Him in extra ordinary ways...by reaching Him through the struggles and the trials. Reaching Him by not being satisfied with the norm. Way to go!

You inspire me Manny! You inspire me to realize the fullness of God's presence in my life. You are awesome and strong and I admire you. Keep your chin up and remember that I'm always here for you.
