I remember years ago hearing the old saying about making a wish when the numbers on the clock all line up. I don't believe in wishes, but whenever I see the list of numbers all the same, it reminds me that I serve the God "...who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." and I am reminded to bring the desires of my heart before Him in prayer. Over the years, I have asked Him for many things. Sometimes His answers have been "no", sometimes "yes", and sometimes "wait", and, in the case of praying for a husband, the answer was "Wait" with a capitol 'W'. :)

Anyway, on this the 11th of November, 2011, I can't help but look back on all that He has done for me. The prayers He has answered just the way I had hoped, and the ones He has answered in ways I did not like at the time, but later saw to be the most perfect way. I thank my Heavenly Father for being so gracious to me.

And if I were to ask for anything on this 11/11/11, it would be that I will spend the rest of my life bringing glory to His name.

So, I will make this my Ebenezer day and I will use it to look back and remember His goodness to me.
