God Provides yet again

So this week was looking rather slow as far as work went for me. I had one hour massage and a half hour massage at doc....and that was it. Well monday i got a phone call from a client who wanted to come to my house(yay that means 100% of the money goes to me) so she came by tuesday, tuesday i recieved a phone call that wednesday I booked a hour massage in the am, Sweet! three massages isn't bad but oh wait it keeps going.....
Another phone call, i booked TWO massages on thursday- so i went in today and low and behold a new client has an emergency and needs a massage so all togather i had 7 massages this week!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!! on that note i thought i would post a devotional that really made me think and really made me feel better, so here it is.

Stick To The Plan (4)
Peter replied, 'Tell me to come to You on the water.'
Matthew 14:28 NIV
Peter didn't walk on the water all by himself, he did it with Jesus. Today Christ invites you to walk with Him and experience His miracles. Why don't we see more of them in our lives? Because:
(1) We don't pray and believe God for them. Jesus said, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7). Your prayers give God an invitation, an entry point and a channel through which His miraculous power can flow to change your circumstances. But you have to pray and believe Him to do it! (2) We think the day of miracles is past. The Scriptures declare, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). In reality there never has been 'a day of miracles'; there's only a God of miracles, and He never changes. So don't limit Him! (3) We allow sin to sabotage our confidence. John writes, "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him" (1 John 3:21-22 NIV). (4) We look at the situation instead of the Saviour, and our faith falters. When Jesus told Peter, "Why do you doubt?" He was saying, "Don't allow this storm to overwhelm you. I'm right here with you. Your problem is under My feet, therefore it's under your feet too. Just keep your eyes on Me, keep walking by faith and stick to the plan!"




Another upper for me my oh so sweet hubby hugs me this morning and says "what are our plans for tonight?" I told him we didn't have any and he says "Good, I want to take you to dinner"
wait what??? a date? HOLY CRAP!

Another reason to be happy??? this week my mom came by and not only helped but also supplied paint to paint our basement, we have two walls done and it helps so much! I actually don't run up the stairs anymore to get out of there. The only problem is now i want to finish the blasted basement and we don't have the funds for a drop cieling or carpet....or the third can of paint (we want an accent wall ...scratch the "we"....I want an accent wall) But oh well...a little at a time.
And to end I'm going to do a plug for starbucks~

Have you tried the Starbucks Vivanno blends???? My favorite is the orange mango blend with matcha powder...SO yummy and SO filling. Not to mention i don't feel guilty after indulging. YAY.

Well thats all i have for now hopefully my next post will have pictures of something.
