Taking care of the little details

A few days ago, I read in 'My Utmost for His Highest' (by Oswald Chambers - I highly recommend if you want to be challenged in your walk with Christ) that we will not receive until we ask. Another author also challenged me this week in regards to prayer: he wrote that if distracting thoughts come into your mind when you are praying, you should view them as stepping stones to prayer rather than barriers. By this he meant that you can take these thoughts and turn them into prayers. Chances are, if you are thinking about something, it is something that is on your heart - so why not bring it to God? So, earlier this week I was realizing once again that my employer still hadn't emailed me back regarding getting my criminal record check done and a doctor's note as proof of my medical fitness, and I was starting to worry about it and wondering whether I could get everything taken care of before I started work and wondering whether I should email for the third time or call my work... so I prayed about it. I specifically asked God to have my employer email me that day. And, God being the faithful God that He is,... when I checked my email that evening, it was there! Not only that but the whole process of getting all the little details done before my first day of work has turned out easier than I had expected. Just wanted you all to know that God really does care about the little details in your life! You just need to ask him!

In regards to my Quebec experience... we went on an excursion to Tadoussac on Sunday which is a cute little village on the St. Lawrence River. We went whale watching - actually saw a lot of whales but not a lot of them (Hmmm, don't think that made sense... I mean that we really only saw their backs - not stunning jumps or anything). But it was a fun excursion and the St. Lawrence reminded me of the ocean because it was so big (just didn't smell the same). Afterwards, we visited a beach where we had to climb down a massive sanddune to get to it - and climb up it again! Here's a pic.

Yeah, it was gorgeous. Looks like the Pacific Ocean, doesn't it? But don't be fooled - it really is a river.

Sorry, this comp is simply too slow to upload anymore photos on here. Will have to show them to you another time!
