Happy Thoughts ..for once..

I have got to say--prayer fixes everything! I think I realize FINALLY what has been keeping me from God lately....and it was lack of prayer! I keep focusing on reading the bible, that I have forgotten about prayer and how important it is. I really had a horrible time with work last week--I seriously have never been that negative minded at work before and I was battling horribly with trying to stay positive, I almost cried every time because I was so frustrated. I did not want that to happen this week and so I prayed about it. I am still battling with trying to be positive, and I have to keep pushing the thought of hating work out of my mind. I prayed for about a half hour about the people in my life, people who are going on missions, people going off to school, and I also prayed for the people who have impacted my life through the past three years. I have a lot to be thankful for. I have changed so much and just through prayer I am able to see this! I also realized that I can have an amazing summer and amazing fall semester without Moody. Right after I was done praying, I had been praying about Starbucks and getting a job there, and I went to my messages to see if Starbucks had called me about a job yet because I had been to a job fair last week. They had left a message!!!!!!!!! And I get a second interview today! I am so excited! I get to have an interview right before I have to go to work. I am really excited to see that when you pray, God answers! Sometimes not right away, but He did today. And the thing about that is it just totally affirmed that I need prayer in my life. So from now on I am going to try to dedicate more time in prayer to God, because without it I am disconnected from God---and He wants to listen to me, how amazing is that. I am really happy right now and it is because of God. :)
