Beautiful, Bright, Blue

I was out on the playground today with the kids when I noticed one little boy staring at the sky.  I looked up but I didn't anything so I said, "What do you see?"  He answered' "The sky," then added, "it's neat."  I agree with him, the sky was neat today.  No clouds at all, just beautiful, bright, blue. 
Kids always notice things like that.  That's one of the reasons why I think kids are so neat.  I was too busy to notice the sky until he pointed it out to me.  And I thought I was the teacher!

It's fall break this week at the Seminary and I've really enjoyed the extra sleep!  Please continue praying for me as I still have two months of school before winter break and many papers to write and books to read.  Praise God for the opportunity to study here and learn so much! 

I recently came across some beautiful scripture in Deuteronomy that I would like to share with you.

"For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing."'
Deuteronomy 2:7

What a wonderful promise! In this passage Moses is recounting all the Isrealites have been through in their exodus from Egypt.  God was with the Isrealites and blessed all the work of their hands because they were His people.  Aren't we also God's people?  I love how the verse ends as well, "You have lacked nothing."  God didn't promise the Isrealites an easy life, but he did ensure that they lacked nothing.  It's a wonderful thing to think that God also knows where I have been.  He has never left my side and I can truly say I have lacked nothing. It's even more amazing to consider that God knows my future as well and that He is going to be there every step of the way!
