Today in church, Pastor McBride said a few things that stuck with me:
- Don't just pray when you are in the midst of the storm. Pray before it even hits.
- Jonah didn't go into the fish because we were to see Jonah, he went into the fish so we could see his God.
Of course, we all know that we should seek The Lord during a trial, during those times when we are in the "belly of a whale," so to speak (We are in the book of Jonah right now). But what I never seem to remember is the simple fact that I need to seek God before those trials come.
It's inevitable. We are going to go through things in our life that will cause our hearts to ache, our minds to race, and our bodies to be weak.Since we know this, why don't we just pray ahead of time? Why don't I myself prepare?

A little blessing:
We came to Panera. I went up to buy a drink. The girl at the register said "It's okay. I got it." It was simple, but it was so sweet.
It's the little things in life that I appreciate the most.
