I I 
have been wondering what to write about since training camp now that life has settled down. And I find I keep coming back to the same thing. God CARES! I cannot get over the fact of how much he loves us.
Many years ago my dad was delivering pizzas and one of us kids would tag along with him, our reward would be the tips for the night and of course the complimentary pizza from the restaurant. Well I never really wanted to go, but this one night I did and I was complaining to dad that we weren’t getting any tips, so dad said we should pray about it and my immediate response was “God doesn’t care about little stuff like that.” But my dad said “Yes He does!” So we prayed and surprise, surprise the next house we got a tip.
I smile about this memory because I had forgotten about it and I begin to wonder how many other times God has answered prayers or even thoughts I’ve not even thought worthy to be asked.
I wanted to share one instance in particular where the Lord cared for me. I was just thinking in bed one night that I have been blessed with friends all over the world but as soon as I make lasting friendships I somehow always seem to move away from these people and instead of having these people around me I am forever alone.
I was thinking, “I’m all alone, no one cares, I have no one to look out for me. And then I was telling God how unfair it was to be stuck in this place with so many people around so why do I always have to be on my own?
And then the small voice in the night spoke to me “I care, I am looking out for you, I am with you” 
As the voice of God whispered in my ear, I smiled. So now wide awake I picked up my bible and went to the Psalms and as I was reading I found Psalm 36: 7 “God your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wing.”
I wasn’t actually praying to God for answers, I was just thinking and complaining, but God hears all our thoughts even when we ignore Him. He never ignores us, He just cares.
I had been wanting to pray but I wanted to pray with other people and I looked around and there was no one around, but I knew God was with me. So I sat down and I said, “God, me and the Holy Spirit are going to pray together to You. Your word says “Where two or more are gathered there you are in the midst of them” So there I was praying just me and the Holy Spirit and that night I received visions, heard clearer from God than I ever have and have never felt so connected to anyone.
