I'm so glad God is not like me. I love hearing from Dana and Erin, and I hate time to go by when I don't get to talk to them and find out how their lives are going. They don't call everyday, or some days they call more than once, but I can't recall one time when they started off a conversation with a list of the things they need. Usually it's a funny happening during their day, or a general phone chat.

I was wondering about that at 1:30 this morning, when I was praying.
I've given up praying before bedtime, because I'm asleep before I know it and then, I'm ashamed. So, when I wake up in the night, I"ll call on the Father. Being the mom that I am, I usually start off with concerns and blessings I seek for the kids, and that's not what I should be doing. My God deserves so much more of my adoration and praise, and I hit him with "I need" and "I want."

Forgive me, Father God for not just calling to visit. Things are going pretty well here, and I thank You for all those blessings. You are such an awesome God, and I love how you wait so patiently for me.
