I had an epiphany early this morning about something that's perhaps too obvious, but I just never realized it. There were times when I started to think, are my prayers really talking to God, or am I simply talking to myself when I pray? But what I've forgotten is that God knows everything, every thought that I have, every action that I perform, so certainly He hears my prayers. In fact, everything I do and think and say in my life becomes a prayer to God, once I realize that He knows everything that I do and think and say. So now I'm starting to get a bit of understanding to 1 Thessalonians 5:17..."pray continually."

It was really snowy this morning, and the road was slippery. But I didn't know it was THAT slippery in the church parking lot, where I almost hit a car...yikes... I think there was just an inch to spare before hitting the bumper of the other car. I'm thankful to God for preventing this accident from happening.

I had a stomach problem this morning...I was hungry, but I had no appetite...eventually forced myself to eat the dumplings, but that still didn't feel good. I think it's the "mental translating to physical" thingie again...
