Have you ever had one of those days that started out like the worst day of your life.  Well, that was my day today at least i thought it was.  I began my day with some discouraging news and had one of those hey God moments.  You know when you say hey God what about me, what about me!  I believe those moments are very important in our lives because it reveals to us what we really believe.  Do i really believe God will take care of my needs or is it something i just say to people who need to hear it.  As i began to make God aware of my problems, like it was news to him, i was reminded of the many many times God had already delivered me.  One by one i could count each time God had been there for me. So, i decided to turn this “Hey God” moment into a “Trust God” moment. <br />
“God is so amazing”!  By the end of the day God had showed me a miracle in my life.  He had provided for us in way i would have never imagined.  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to thy own understanding”. <br />
God is Great<br />
