So I was sitting in my prayer time this morning, praying for the normal things I pray for…and I started to realize how much I could be totally freaking out about. I mean, there are at least 6 huge things going on right now in my and Wesley’s lives, that I should be a huge puddle of tears and a gigantic ball of stress. Normally, I would have had melt down already….(and maybe there is still one to come…who knows). However, I am unusually peaceful today.

I think the last 10 months (thats how long we have been raising our support) has taught me so much. The most important being, my worrying doesnt solve a thing, and it takes my focus off God, who ultimatley provides, and has not ONCE let me down anyway. There is a verse in Psalms that has been like my song that you can’t get out of your head…..it’s Psalm 73:25-26 “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is NOTHING on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD is the STRENGTH of my heart and my portion forever.”

So yeah, I have a lot to stress about. I’m not saying I can be irresponsible and just “not care.” But God has shown me over the last year that He is in control, and that everything is a part of His plan.

It’s so nice to feel a peace with the Lord, and not feel like everything is falling apart. Even if my flesh and heart fail, even if everything I had planned or wanted goes down the garbage, even if we can’t live how we wanted to live, buy what we wanted to buy, do what we wanted to do, what does any of that matter in comparison to loving the Lord and letting Him guide us. Wouldn’t life be .much better if we let him lead? Maybe not better in our sense of the word, but in the end…so much better!

So, since I mentioned that there is a lot going on, I will mention a few, if you would like to keep us in your prayers this week, and the week to come.

- We are closing on our house this Friday (the 20th).
- Our support. We have been raising our support for almost a year. To be honest, I am pretty tired if it, but the Lord will provide. However, pray for our sanity’s sake, that He will provide soon!
-Our finances, being support based doesnt always provide a peace of mind about your budget…..so I am always a little nervous about finances.
-My family is going through some struggles.

Those are just a few. It makes life so much easier to know that none of this is in my hands anyway. I feel good about everything, but I suppose it’s good to take all things to the Lord in prayer, even things you’re not worried about.

Just thought I’d share my thoughts for the day!

Okay….I’m done :)
