it's monday and God is good.

happy monday morning, friends. 
did you all join in the happy day project?
what a brilliant idea that was.
i had a sweet friend tell me that she brought treats to her neighbors after reading my post.
that made my day.
i love the spurring one another on that happens through blogs.
i haven't done the other days yet...but i still want to.

so the. coolest. thing. happened.
i've wanted to get the boys a trampoline for some time.
i knew they would just love it.
i also knew that it would be a fun activity for our potter's house kids.
not long ago avery asked me, "mom, will we ever get a trampoline?"
i said i didn't know and we'd just pray about it.

last saturday i was thinking about it and talking to Jesus about it.
i asked Him, could we please have a trampoline.
i had the thought to put it on freecycle.
i felt silly doing it, but i went ahead and said, okay Lord, it's up to you, it's in your hands. 
the next day at church our pastor's wife came up to us and said that she'd just joined freecycle and happened to see our ad.
she said that they had a trampoline that they'd been wanting to pass along for some time.
she said we could come get it anytime.
wow.


our God is so good. so lavish. so sweet.

you know, i pray these kind of prayers all the time.
i figure it can't hurt to ask.
and many times the answer is no or not yet.
however, many times the answer is yes and it comes in a way that i could never dream up if i tried.
i really think there's something to just wholehearted trust in God's goodness.
i cannot count the number of times God has said yes to these kind of prayers of mine.

there's no prayer too little or too big....i think God delights in the asking.

1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
