Happy Monday. It is going to be another beautiful warm and sunny day. I woke up with both kitties laying all over me and even Christian was able to witness how funny they are in the morning. So the entire Jacobs' household was up and about by 5am. No wonder I am sleepy by 5pm! But it is a special time because life gets busy and hectic so I cherish the quiet times. Well once again I cannot go a day without giving God a shout out! I was leaving for church yesterday and I really wasn't excited about going to the children's room. I felt funny all morning in the stomach. For I knew what room they were placing me in (each room represents an age...infant, 1 year old, 2 years old, 3 years old and so on) but my heart wanted to be somewhere else. I was willing to sacrifice what I wanted for what the church needed. But God heard my prayer and knew what age my heart was longing for. So even as I was walking through the parking lot and into the building I was asking God to intercede and place me in the room I knew I should be in. I asked Him to make a way for me and remove all obstacles. As I entered church, the greeter smiled and recognized me and asked me how I liked the 3 year olds. I told her I loved them and that was where I wanted to truly be. With that Rich met us and started walking us to our assigned rooms. When he told Christian he was going to be with the 3 year olds, I spoke up and asked if I could switch and be in there instead. He stopped and thought about it and made the decision right on the spot to let me despite the schedule and placements made. My heart was so happy! Turns out that when I was able to speak with Rich and Melody that they were putting me with the 2 year olds because they thought that was what I wanted. I then explained I was doing the same thing for them. We all laughed b/c they said the 3 year old room was where they truly needed the help and me but didn't want to impose. So God being the ulitmate intercessor worked it all out for the church, me and most of all the children. And with that I joyfully got to hang out with 15 of the cutest 3 year olds I have ever met. We sang, danced, prayed, colored and played together. All the while my heart was dancing!

God promised to give us the desires of our heart. God is saying "What do you want me to do for you?" Be specific with your request because God always has an answer specifically for you!
