Right

I want to write about getting what you want
Does God always give you what you want?
You bet
If what you want is what He wants
Does He give you what you don't want?
No
So you can scratch that
And start with what you want
By praying that what He wants is only what you want
And only that
Am I making any sense?
You should only want what He wants
And that's that
Once you pray that, you will find that 
He will bent over backward to give to you
It will take time
But you will find that - one by one it came true
And you totally forgot that that was what you prayed
Surprised yourself
God not only gives you what you want
But over and above what you want
I was driving a 2008 Honda Accord
It wasn't too old but not too new
Okay definitely was not new
Did not want to get another one, especially a new one
Until I have put in at least 200,000 miles
My plan was gun ho
It was all beat up - the bumpers anyway - scratched up and things
But God had a different idea
He set me up with a new car 
Even had a car picked out for me
I had no plan to get a new one
sitting in the service department getting my car fixed
So you see 
Once what you had that that what you want is what He wants
He will upgrade you
And not only give you what you want
But what He wants also
And what He wants is the best
I'm not complaining lol
Just thought I'd share that with you
I'm in the clouds
Because what I want the most has finally come true
Not the car!
Right with Him all the time :)
