Ministry, Work, Love, and Life

Hehe, all LOST-esque. The only show I USED TO watch. Who am I kidding; I’ll never give it up. In giving back to F L, the world seems bigger. And scarier, somehow. I’m kinda scared to live in a world where a kid feels he has to hit evryone, kick everything, and bite when someone tries to hold him. I’ve always been a shy person, but I don’t remember being that violent so young. God, I can’t ask what horrible trauma he has endured, but I pray that I can make a positive impact in his life. Give me strength to come alongside these kids{and eventually their parents} and let me always be reminded that it’s YOUR strength, not my own.

  I ask if FL  is where You want me for Your purpose, and not mine. If my heart was any more broken, I’m not sure I could handle it. I find it quite curious that when John and I were at Rev, You lead me so strongly to work with his family. I always thought we would partner up side by side there. God, they are such a great family. Help me to show my appreciation in ways that truly bless them. If You want me at Rev…Lord, just, what do You want me to do?

  God, I ask that our household would learn and stick to good money practices, and I’m the guiltiest. This tax season has proved very difficult for me. Thank You for providing. Thank You for Mark, who didn’t have to help me change my tire. THank You for Ken, who paid for the new one. I ask that I become more of a blessing to both of them. I pray that you would show them how to be men after Your own heart. I love them both dearly, and You know what we’ve been thru together.

 Thank You for the Houses, Lord. Though we’ve had our ups and downs, they’ve been a blessing, for sure.

 Thank You for my family,

Mom- God, only You know what she needs. Dad-ditto. James-echo. Loyd and Jen-Bless them here, bless them in Korea. God, if there’s any way I could visit them before they go, I would love to. Lisa-let her find love in You, the only love she’ll ever need. Grandma-the sale of her house. The Fairchilds.

The Zerbas-let the move be in Your time, and let tomorrow be a huge success for Ken’s business. Most of all, let them be in right relationship while they’re together, as well as apart. B & C & family- I’d love to have a visit.

For the Houses-let their relationships have less trauma in them. Let E come into a home where he is loved.
I lift all these things up in Jesus’ name.
