Praising the Lord for Essie!

-

Today, I was on FaceBook reading an article and I noticed on the sidebar an advertisement for Essie Nail Polish.  The first thing that came to my mind was a memory of a prayer that God answered for me.  

My husband and I were on a little get-away and while we were there I wished that I had painted my nails since we were going to be going out to a nicer restaurant.  Now, while I love to shop there are some things I do not like to have to spend my money on, and one of them is nail polish.  Oh, I like to have my nails polished, I just don’t want to spend too much money on it – especially since it chips off, and once that happens it’s over with – I can’t rest until it is all peeled off!  So, I prayed and asked the Lord if I could find a good nail polish for a good price.  You see, just because I don’t want to pay a high price for nail polish doesn't mean that I don’t want one of good quality and with a higher gloss.  I was so pleasantly surprised when I went in to the beauty store and found Essie Nail Polish on sale for $2.99!  I am sure the gal at the counter thought I was a little nuts when I told her how happy I was to find the sale and that I had prayed I could find a good nail polish for under $5. I guess she wasn't used to having people praising the Lord for inexpensive nail polishJ

As I reminisced over my answered prayer I thought about how nice it is to have special memories like that –ones that remind me of how the Lord will even supply my silly little requests.  I don’t think God really cares if my nails are painted or not – but He showed me that He cares about me and the things that I take the time to ask Him for.  I know this is true because Jesus told us so in many instances, but especially in John  14:13, 14 which says, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

I am certain that the Lord loves to hear us pray to Him. He told us He wants us to abide in Him, after all He created us for Himself – “all things were created by him, and for him:” Colossians 1:16.   So today ladies I encourage you to ask what you will… “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”   Abide in the Lord, let His Words abide in you, and then ask what ye will and He promises that it shall be done unto you! 

I love having sweet little reminders of God’s answered prayer for even the littlest things – because to me they show me all the more that He cares for me, little ole me and my silly little quirks...and He does for you too!

Have a wonderful day!

Curious? Ok – well here it is for the record.

For 25 years I have been a Christian. I received the Lord on May 9, 1985. From that day to today there have been many changes in me and in my life style. There are many things I do and don’t do because of what and how the Lord has worked in my life, and lately I have had several ladies asking me questions because they were curious – so here are my answers…for the record. I will be answering one question a day as this article would be too long to give all my answers in one day! Do I always ONLY wear dresses (skirts) and why? Yes, I always only wear a dress or skirt because the Lord placed that conviction on my heart shortly after I got saved. You see when I first became a Christian I heard that all the answers I needed in my life could be found in the Bible. To my thinking I imagined then that the Bible was somewhat like a cookbook. I could look something up and find the “recipe.” Well, as a young mother (I was 27 at the time with 4 children ages 5 and under) I wanted the “reci

And They Lived Happily Ever After

And they lived happily ever after.   Isn’t that what we all want?   I know that’s what I want; I know I like to watch movies that have a good ending.   I hate it when movies end up sad and there is no resolve to a problem!   I know that in “real life” things don’t always turn out the way we hope and that we must face hard truths – but why should I have to watch it?   I like to watch a movie to escape…not to face more harsh reality! I like the corny movies – the ones where the girl gets the guy of her dreams, where the bad guys get their due rewards, and the heroes get the deserved recognition.   I especially love old movies from the 40’s.   During that era everyone dressed up – guys even wore a tie to baseball games!   In those days the administration did not allow criminals to get away with their crimes – by the end of the movie they had to be caught.   I like that and of course wish it would always be that way!   I was thinking about that this morning, and I realized

Pictures

I love my family! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, and fun family! This past Thanksgiving we all got together and enjoyed a great time together. We were able to have our pictures taken and each time I look at them (there were literally hundreds of pictures taken) I am reminded of the time we shared together. Pictures are a wonderful way to remember special times and special people. Through pictures we can see what people we have only heard about look like - like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, relatives that have passed on before we were born - people that have made a difference in our lives. As I was thinking about how pictures can mean so much, take us back to places we've been, remember joyous occasions, and allow us to see things we would never see otherwise - I thought of how we paint a picture - a portrait of sorts of Christ. We have never seen God, yet we are made in His image. We know Him through His Word, and by what we see in His awesome creat
