What is up peeps???

Remember me?

I just wanted to stop in and say hi.

Did you ever have a preacher that told the story abou the lottery and the power of prayer?

This is a random story, that a preacher told long ago at a church I attended and it has stuck with me. I often think back to it. Now, I know most of you have probably heard it before, but I wanted to tell it again anyways just in case someone out there hears it and gains a little inspiration.

So the Bible says if we have faith just the size of a tiny mustard seed, we can move mountains. Well, a guy who we will call Grayson, read that and decided that with the faith he had, he could definitely win the lottery.

Each day, Grayson would pray. "Dear Lord, I know that you are all powerful. I ask that you let me win the lottery today!" He prayed this prayer for days and days became weeks and weeks became months and months became years.

Finally, Grayson was older, but still every morning he would ease down to his knees and pray to win the lottery.

One evening, Grayson took his last breath and headed up to heaven. As he was lead through the gates he finally met the Lord. Grayson was a hardheaded man and he just had to know the answer to why his faith had not been fulfilled. He said, "Lord, I had so much faith. I knew that I would win the lottery. I prayed every day for years! Why did you not let me win?"

The Lord looked at him and smiled and said, "Grayson, my son, why didn't you buy a ticket?"

You see, you can't just have faith with out action. The truth is, if you really have faith, you'll have the courage or the motivation to take that first step. Is there something in your life that you feel you have prayed and prayed about but are not making progress in? If so...maybe you're forgetting to buy your ticket.

God has blessed us so much. Sometimes He'll take so much of the weight that you feel like you should just be able to float through and forget that he also blessed you with the feet to do your own walking.

So I just want to encourage myself and anyone that might be reading to take a step, buy a ticket, use what God gave you! He's got so much in store for all of us!!!

Have a great day!!!
