day thirteen

dear god

thank you for today. thank you for all of the good things you have given us. thank you for food, shelter, clean water, a safe place to live. thank you that as a mom i never have to worry about any of those things for colton. please remind us that we have more than enough and these are things not every one comes by so easily and make us good at sharing.

thank you that sean had a good time at fred's church and he made it safely there and back. thank you that colton and i were able to spend a nice day together while sean was gone.

thank you for jessie, lan, and jojo. they are such special friends. thank you that we go to a church that can pick up and move on a sunday night to be at a friends event. thank you for our church that is so perfect for our family.

thank you again for sean's promotion and the pressure that takes off of us every month. i ask that you would continue to keep us accountable to being wise with what you give us!

i pray that you are with frank and ezekiel and that you have them safe and happy and healthy and learning about you.

i pray for our meeting with tylon tomorrow and that you are again crystal clear with us about how you want us to proceed.

i pray for all of the other foster kids and orphans in the world. that you would put them in families or cover their hurts with your grace.

please forgive me for all of the mistakes i make and the ways i let you down. today i was definitely not my best self and i am regretting being selfish because i was having a headache. help me to always keep little annoyances like that in perspective.

i pray that you help us to sleep great so we can be at our best for our meeting with tylon but also so that i can be there for colton after the meeting. i ask that you help me meet his emotional needs as we go through this situation.

amen...
