I recieved Lisa Whelchel’s newsletter and I just have to share a portion of it because I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Stop for a second, breathe a quick prayer, and ask God to interrupt your plans, agendas, schedules, and to-do lists sometime this month to simply thrill you. As audacious as that sounds, it is not a daring request. You don’t really think that if you asked your Father in heaven to throw you a surprise party that He would give you a “White Elephant” exchange instead, do you? Can you dare to believe that God will get an even bigger kick out of delighting you than you will by being the recipient of His lavish love? God is bigger and sweeter and funner and wealthier and huge-r than you could ever imagine. But try anyway. Then ask boldly with expectation of His extravagant grace.
Heavenly Father, interrupt me and surprise me. I am like a kid awaiting a birthday party. I get sooo excited in what you have in store. I love you, Amen!! -L
If you have never been to Lisa’s sight I encourage you to visit it, it is full of a wealth of information.
This is beautiful.
I’m gonna copy it down. 
Awesome. I’ll do it!
It’s agreat idea but I am not sure I can take too much more delight at the moment. He is already throwing me a giant surprise party, one after another. So much so that now, after giving me some teenagers to lead in a small group at our, already huge, women’s bible study, (thy are coming willingly!) Now He has made arrangements for our favorite missionary to come for dinner; Tuesday! Things keep getting better and better! I don’t know how much more I can take.
I must say though that when He promises (as He did this year) to bless us does He ever!
