God Loves Everyone!

We went to Topeka Kansas 2 Saturdays ago to rally against the evil that prevails there. Fred Phelps and his cult like family are spreading an evil message and I am very proud to be part of a church with the courage to stand up against it.

I must say that this day was one of the best days of my life! The feelings coming from the thousands of people who drove by us that day were absolutely amazing! It was heart changing, I know that sounds extreme but that is honestly the truth. People stopped and got out of their cars in the freezing cold to hug us and even bring us hot chocolate! There was so much love in that place.

I am so proud to be a part of Olathe Life Fellowship! I just know that our church is going to make a difference in this world!

Prayer

This is how I feel lately when I pray, like a child. I am reading an awesome book on prayer by Phillip Yancy called Prayer and I must admit my prayer life has just been getting better and better as I keep my time with God more in the "to do" column than I had been for awhile. Not that I didn't pray, it is just that honestly I didn't do it on purpose, if that makes sense. Like spending time with my husband or my boys.

But even more than the changes that my consistency have had on how I feel during my prayer time, the decision we have been trying to reach about adopting a baby from Ethiopia has had huge impact. Which is why I feel like a child, it is at these times in life when making such important decisions or going through hard times that I always drawn closer to God, it has always been that way in my life and I think some of that is normal, but this time I am seeing it clearer and it makes me sad that when I want guidance I am more faithful in my prayer time and when I feel like I am doing just fine on my own I still pray but it is more like something I am supposed to do it and it should be like why I spend time with my husband and boys because I love them.
