Blueprints

Good Morning,
I hope everyone had a blessed long weekend. So I thought I would share a dream I had Sunday night. There was this man and he wanted to build himself a house. So he hired an architect and asked him to draw up blueprints for their house. The architect finished the blueprints and gave them to the man. Well this man was not a builder, he didn't know how to read blueprints. Anyhow he tried to begin to build this house on his own, using the blueprints. Finally, the man realized that he could not build the house without the help of the architect. So he called the architect up and asked for helped. Very slowly the architect showed the man how to read the blueprints and together they built the house.
I am pretty simple minded, I think that is why God speaks to me in simple ways. When I try to go about my life without asking God, who designed my life, to help me, I make a mess of everything. I forget about patience, and love and kindness these are the blueprints of my house the ones God designed for me to have. I have mostly been impatient with my husband, and for this I am sorry. Yesterday after having an argument with him he said to me, why don't you pray to God to stop being angry at me, and I said back to him, "why don't you pray for me," and then began to cry because he was right. I had failed to seek God before aproaching my husband with my needs, I had forgotten to ask my Daddy to give me the right words, and so the house I began to build, I also tore down. My husband at that moment did the most amazing thing. He laid his hand on my head, and prayed for me.
It was the most beautiful prayer I had heard in a long time, because it came from my husbands sincere heart, and it spoke to the heart of me. My anger was gone. When we forget to seek God first in our lives, we can sometimes miss out on blessings He wants to give us.
