The "I rest in Him" Challenge

There are days when I know that it is not going to be the best day I could ever hope for and then there are days when I know that it is going to be a day of great joy and fun.

Whenever I have a bad day, most of those bads days are asking God to Bless it. I am always saying, "God Bless it" because I know even if it turns out not so great, God is still blessing it *whatever "it" is*. Even in the bad days that we have there are still blessings. Let's see, my bad was yesterday and kind of today but God blessed it. How?, you might be asking. Well, I will tell you. I rest in Him.

I have an awesome family and the best friend boy, Steve (he is not quite my boyfriend so I have been calling him my friend boy). Over the last few weeks we have been making plans for me to get a "new to me* car and selling my "old" car to Steve who has not had a car in nearly 3 years and has been struggling to get a car any way he can but to no avail. I told him yesterday that the whole car thing was just one reason why God brought us together. He totally agreed with this statement and had the biggest smile on his face. Well, after weeks of planning and getting things together, there were a few bumps in that road that kind of made it feel like it was not going to happen BUT it did. Suffice it to say there were a few breakdowns and tears were shed out of pure frustration. In the mist of it all, Kellie *my BFFL* tells me it'll be ok. Steve tells me, have faith and then, Kellie's Dad *my adopted-wish-he-were-my-dad, Dad* tells me, it'll settle down just give it time. Of course Mom is being Mom and taking care of everything.

Although we are still riding out the wave it really has gotten better. I know that no matter what takes place God Blesses it all and I rest in Him.

So here is where the challenge comes in...are you ready for this? Ok, here it goes....

What I would like to challenge you all to do *even if I have just one reader*, I want you to ask God to Bless it. No matter how big or small this issue or problem is, just simply say these 3 words: "God Bless it". It may not help matters at first but eventually you will see the adverse effects that these words will have on the "it" that you are asking God to bless. Then what I want you to do, but it is not required, is pass this challenge on to your family and friends.
