day thirty

dear god

thank you that i am learning so much about you these days. i feel like really letting myself experience the feelings of hard times has given me the chance to really think about you and how to be more obedient and become like you. i think it's amazing that you have waited all these long years to show me so many things. help me to be the kind of parent to my kids as you are to me. thank you so much for all of the ways you bless us. we have never needed anything necessary and not only that but we've always had more than enough. i ask that you would help us to always remember how good we have it and always help us see with your eyes how we can share the good gifts you've given us with others.

i am so thankful for heather, richelle and jessie. thank you that we got to spend the day at disneyland today. thank you for being able to lighten eachother's loads physically and mentally. i don't know why you saw fit to bless us with such great friends but we are so so thankful.

thank you for the way richelle was able to help her arianna through her tough day.

help jessie be able to reconcile with her sister. soften their hearts.

help heather to figure out just the right insurance option for their family.

i pray that you would be with frank and ezekiel. i ask that they are happy and healthy and learning all about you.

sin is just so gross the way it destroys families and peoples lives. what needs to happen to see redemption in all of this ugly that sometimes we feel so enmeshed in?

thank you for my job and my friends who are my bosses. thank you that i was able to work from disneyland today and that i have great clients.

i ask that you would forgive me for all of the ways i fall short and that you would help me make better choices tomorrow. help me to see when my patience is running low and to make choices to lead myself away from the temptation to be less than good.

i ask that you would help us sleep good sleep tonight and help us to wake up feeling healthy and strong and ready to serve eachother here and also when we go out. and that we would be kind and respectful to eachother.

amen...
