\"03-09-14<\n\n\nMe: Prodigal, what a nice bee picture!\n\nProdigal: Thanks I drew it myself, I like bees. They are easy to draw, they make honey, they help with gardens. I have decided that I am a friend of the bees!\n\nMe: I never knew you were so much into bees. The things I learn about you. You are turning out to be very interesting pig yourself. If you like bees I have some trivia about bees for you.\n\nProdigal: Please share, your stories are very interesting.\n\n\n\nI was watching the Bee movie years ago by DreamWorks. I wrote down this part of the script because it intrigued me.\n\nAccording to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.\n\nThis may or may not have been written from a spiritual stand point but to me it brought to mind God's word. Next comes ones of my favorite scriptures that many of you may know that. Luke 1:37 - For with God nothing shall be impossible. So the next obvious question is, right now with that prayer request you prayed today. Are you thinking like a bee or like a human? God's word said that nothing is impossible with God. We tend to think, God can you really handle that prayer request. See the prayer request involves people, who may be stubborn, who may be focused on themselves instead of loving others. So can God really handle this person? Let me remind you, God created that person. God has created billions of people and has shaped the lives and worked through just as many. It wouldn't hurt for you to stop thinking so much like a human right now and look through the eyes of a bee!\n\n\nGod Bless,\n\nJennifer Van Allen\nwww.faithincounseling.org\njennifervanallen@faithincounseling.org\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
