This may be small to some but colossal to me. My department at work has gotten smaller and covering hours has gotten difficult. I'll spare the details of the shifts but my work week began on Sunday and as a result of the lack of coverage I will have Sunday's off. Sunday has undeniably have to be my favorite day of the week. It feels like the world slows down. It's my lazy day and I'm soooo glad to have it back. More proof that prayers do get answered.

I needed some serious affirmation this morning when I woke up. I start my work week on Sunday's and I seriously was not feeling like being there today. I really don't like working on Sunday's. It's my chill day. Not to mention the job itself. I've been praying to God help me start a new career in the area of internet technology i.e. the web. I'm back in school taking classes trying to bridge the gap but I still feel like there's SO much to learn. Throughout the morning a song kept coming to my heart that I must admit I haven't heard in quite some time. I started singing it and realized that it was a song by Fred Hammond entitled "Yes He Will". The lyrics almost read like a sermon and I swear it ministered to me this morning. The song goes something like this:

I will live and not die/For every need there is supply/For the Savior says just ask, just ask and/Believe that you'll receive/And if you ask the impossible won't He do it somebody say/Yes He will, yes He will, yes He will, oh yes He will/From deep in debt to being free/If you need that mountain in the sea/If it seems to hard for you/Just believe that He wants to/Do what seems impossible for you right now just say yeah/Yes He will, yes He will, yes He will, oh yes He will/Right now can you say with me/I believe He'll bless me/I believe He'll touch me/I believe He'll heal me/Oh yes He/Yes He will, yes He will, yes He will, yes He will/Believe only and do not doubt/If fear moves in evict it out/For the Lord responds to faith/And He longs to save the day/And if you ask the impossible, won't He do it say/Yes He will, yes He will, yes He will, oh yes He will/Our Father He loves to respond to our faith/It's his good pleasure/And if I ask the impossible will He do it for me/I gotta believe one thing/That He will.

I've started this blog to chronicle my many prayer request, testimonies and daily spiritual revealings. The inspiration for this came about while reading the book, The Prayer of Jabez. I've been told in the past that I need to keep a spiritual journal of all the things I've asked God for and all of the things He's doing in my life. About a year ago I felt the pull of my Spirit urging me to start writing again but I didn't really know what to write about. Since that time I've been asking God to show me more about Himself and in turn He's placed it upon my heart to do what I've been told for years, to keep a journal. So here it is. I've killed enough trees already with my ramblings so know I'm going to take up some bandwith.

What follows, is a list of some of my prayer requests, not in any particular order. I originally wrote them out on paper several weeks ago and I am blessed to say that one of them has already been answered.
