Chocolate Blessings

Yesterday I had lunch with Joe and God at Boston Market. We almost went to KFC but my gut said "ooohh Boston market". In the parking lot Joe got a VERY encouraging phone call. The church he attends in New Port Richey finally called him about an opportunity to join their Martial Arts program as one of the lead instructors. It's a ministry- no pay. So today Joe walked into a church and asked for a MINISTRY application. That in itself is amazing! I am so excited! He desperately needs something positive in his life and perhaps this is it! Yeah God, I can't wait!!! Thanks to everyone who prays for Joe. Lets keep it up! Please.

On another note, I am grateful for a very personal blessing I received inside Boston Market. At the register there were brownies. Eye catching, delicious looking, Big, Dark Brownies! I had to have one, but for later. I didn't even want it at the time but I KNEW I just had to have one of those amazing looking brownies. So I bought one, took it home, and went to work. Where my boss asked me to BAKE BROWNIES!!! for teacher appreciation day. Not only did I have to break the news to three kids that they couldn't have one, but I BAKED them and SMELLED them and wanted a brownie OH SO BAD!!! Then suddenly when the aroma was at it's strongest God reminded me. My Dear Adoring God who sees and knows everything knew how I would desire a brownie tonight. So He sent me to Boston Market instead of KFC to make sure I got one. Because He loves me. Oh, I love Him back. Yeah God! My God is really cool!! Better than a box full of puppies. That brownie was perfect. My God is perfect. Be blessed my friends and eat brownies. I love you. --Princess Jen
