Noticing the small things....

I really feel like i should write a note right now and i've just prayed about it so here goes. As normal, i don't know how long or short this is going to be or what i'm eventually going to start writing about. I was just reading some things on a forum and someone mentioned to me how we need to thank God for the small things in our lives and quite often we don't tend to notice them. You know when you pray about something that might seem to be quite big to you? You want something big to happen usually don't you? Sometimes though God doesn't give us a big response, he gives us a few little ones which can all add up to make one big difference if that makes sense. God doesn't leave us hanging unless it's what he wants to do. It says in Romans 8v28 it says 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' God  loves us no matter what. A lot of things come down to that. God may not want to do something that we ask because he knows that its not in our best interests for that particular thing to happen. Its like asking your parents for a car...when your 12 years old. They're not going to get you the car for 2 reasons. 1) It's illegal to drive at that age, 2) It's not in they're best interests to buy you a car. And its not in your best interests either. God works in the same way. He loves us so very much that he only wants whats best for us. I bet your going to ask now, then why does he put us through hard times? Ok, these hard times test our faith. It is through these times that he carries us.
 If there is anyone i haven't tagged and you feel like they need to be tagged, then go for it :)
 I just wanna say that when you pray for things and in general, keep an out for the small things God does as well as the big things. Also don't give up praying for things, even when you feel like you're not getting a response from God. God will work in his own perfect timing. Sometimes we may not see the answers to prayer when they are in fact there. It's up to us to look closely for them.

 Also, lately i have had a couple of dreams and i'm not sure what they meant, if anything. The second one happened after i prayed that God would reveal what the first one meant. I just want to encourage you that if you ever have something like that where you don't know what it means, then really pray about it and just ask God to reveal himself to you and to show you what it meant. In due time, i'm sure he will.

Also one more thing i think, I know i've said this before but i'm going to say it again. When you feel like you can't do something and you want to give up, just remember you CAN do it! 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'. I think that's what it says anyway, feel free to correct me!

Ok im done for now, feel free to correct me if i haven't got something right :)
