God is Always Speaking - Are We Listening?
So, I think it’s safe to say we all pray in some capacity for something, right? I would also think it’s fair to say that we are waiting for God to answer our prayers.

Grateful for What We Take for Granted
I want to keep talking about gratitude, where our mind is and what we are actually thankful for. We’ve talked all week about being intentional about looking for God in all things.
