The Blindside

What a wonderful weekend!  After a hectic few weeks I got to spend this weekend focused on my family.  I finally got to watch the movie the Blindside.  What a wonderful story for Mother's Day weekend.  I was so blessed to grow up with both my parents.  I've never wondered where I might sleep or if I would be able to eat my next meal.  Thank God for people willing to take in children in need.  Our Sunday School class is studying a book on prayer.   A recent chapter focused on praying for God to expand our territory.  I am one of those people that likes to have a plan or agenda, but God doesn't always give us the agenda ahead of time.  This is very scary for me.  I just pray and trust he will prepare me for whatever he has in mind.  As I watched this movie I thought about the chapter from the prayer book.  The family that took in Michael Oher really had their territory expanded by opening their home to this young man.  I'm still nervous about what God has in mind, but I do pray for him to expand my territory for His purpose.
