Desires of the Heart

For those who don't know I got to go to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night and see the Kings hoist the Cup!! Can I tell you God knows the desires of your heart!! If I were to write a script (this is Hollywood you know) on how I would want ot leave LA last night would have been it. I never thought I would be at the game, I have followed the Kings very close since we arrived, I pretty much saw all 110 games they played this year and was attached to a pretty good group of players who you could just see wanted to win for eachother. On Sunday afternoon we recieved a message asking us if we were interested in going....um, yeah!! Not only did we get to go to the game but we got to go to a pregame party and a after party to celebrate it. Oh yes did I mention we got to watch it from a suite? More than I could have ever dreamed. At the start of the thrid period I just sat quietly looking at the ice and soaking in the moment and praising god (yes at a hockey game, Jesus is everywhere), I was there and I was about to witness history. Our god wants us to have things, so many people think we as followers of Christ should be poor and suffering always leaning on him. That is far from the truth. I look at the things in my life and know that he knew a long time ago and made the path to make those dreams a reality. We are suppose to be happy, not poor and destitute. And it is not about happieness that money brings, yes that is a part of it but there are so many things that we are blessed with. I look at my wonderful wife and then turn to the two most wonderful girls in my daughters who bring me more everyday with a hug and I love you daddy that know amount of money can buy. Yes I am leaving my job behind, but I know the things that are ahead are much greater and the treasures I will recieve will far exceed what I have today. This is my story what is yours? What can you see in your life that god has provided that has been on your heart? Maybe for some it is the enlightenment that it is ok to want things if they are used to glorify the kingdom. Be happy in whatever you have, be a light in this dark world, we all started today with a gift, the sun came up on a new day, what will we do with it? I want to take this time to thank all of you who have commented to me on Facebook on how much your enjoying this blog and to keep going. I wish I could tell all of you all the stories already were God has used these words to touch lives, I won't stop I don't think the good lord will let me as he stirs my heart on what to write. I will leave today with my favorite scripture, it is Ephesian's 6, 10-17. It talks about preparing for the battle we are about to wage each day and how to prepare. Our god gives us the tools to fight the enemy, believe it and use them!!
