Mustard Seeds







"'...I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, "Move from here to there";and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.
-Matthew 17:20 NLT

This Sunday I found some mustard seeds in my bible. Not literally obviously because that would be pretty gross but the mustard seeds that verse above talks about. As some of you know me and my hubby lived in Miami and attended Flamingo Road Church (where we met)....since we were in college and wanted to reach many college students in that area we decided to serve as leaders in there college group Elevate.
One of the last times we were at elevate Mo (college leader) spoke about prayer and asking in faith, he even went as far to challenge us to make  list of things that we believe in faith would happen and pray about it in faith that God will arrange it and work it out. While in church this Sunday I opened my bible and my mustard seeds fell out. So I began to read it and I was shocked!
The list read as follows:
I want a job as a MFT working in Seminole County School System
I want to pass the Comps Exam and Graduate
I don't want it to rain on May 15, 2009
I want to go to St. Lucia with my Husband in May
I want to live in Avalon Park with my Husband
I want to be brave enough to be a witness to my interns
I want my husband to get into Full Sail, Get a Car, and get good credit.
I want my unsaved family members to be saved
I want my husband to work for lucas films.

As I read these I almost expected none to be answered but then i realized that many had been answered!!!
 I passed my comps exam and graduated, I work as an MFT not in Seminole county but in orange county where God see more need then I could have ever imagined, It DID NOT rain on May 15th until after our wedding was all over (amazing!), I had an amazing honeymoon with my hubby to better then St. Lucia (cayman islands!), My hubby got into full sail, got a car, and got good credit!
All I could think of was wow God you are so amazing and wonderful how you work in our lives! Obviously some have yet to be answered (evan working for lucas films and unsaved family members) but I will continue to ask in faith, specifically praying for those things.
Through this last year I have realized that God hears our prayers sometimes he gives us more than we can imagine, sometimes he changes our heart (like where we decided to live), sometimes he doesn't answer the prayers and has us wait on his perfect timing. The most important part is that God DOES answer our prayers. Have faith that our God will supply all your needs because he will he's done it in my life and he can do it in yours! Have faith like a mustard seed! Pray in faith like its going to happen tomorrow and it can because we serve a powerful God! I challenge you make a list like I did put it away and look at it 1 year later and see how God has worked in your life a produce some mustard seeds :) I know he will!

"Yes, Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it' John 14:14 NLT
"I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours" Mark 11:24 NLT

I often journal my thoughts and later see how much God has answered prayer! It is really awesome to see!
